Radiation shielding
What's the story with radiation shielding on ships and orbital habitats in Traveller? Solar storms, Van Allen belts, and the radiation belts of gas giants are never mentioned as a hazard (that I know of), but I seem to remember something about radiation killing crew in space combat.
Is there a canonical explanation in terms of physical or magnetic shielding? Or are cosmic radiation and radiation belts simply ignored without explicit explanation?
