The easiest way is to let all radiation dose heal. Just like you don't worry about chronic injury when your barbarian warrior gets run through with a spear but manages to survive. I haven't seen a lot of evidence that acute radiation effects cannot be healed with time (chronic exposure certainly does build up, though).
For chronic exposure, you could just say that after 5 years spent in space, make a HT check. If you fail, you get Terminally Ill (10 - margin of failure years, minimum 1 year).
GURPS radiation injury also sets in at much lower doses than you see in real life - 1 to 10 rads is not going to cause any effects.
