Force Screen Variants

"Energy: Only protects against beam weapons (or energy melee weapons like force swords), radiation, and the burning damage of nuclear or antimatter blasts."

- What sort of PF (Protection Factor) does this Energy variant offer against radiation in space as described on page 40-41 of GURP Spaceships 5: Exploration and Colony Spacecraft?
- Does the general Force Screen (SS1 p16) provide any radiation protection?
- Can the Drive Field design switch (SS1 p31) provide any radiation protection with or without the Energy Variant switch?
I'm thinking of using the invention of a "radiation screen" as the new starting point to my Hyperverse tech sequence (radiation screen => hyperdynamic field grid => reactionless drive => "hypersink" cloaking => jump gate to hyperspace => hyperjump stardrive). I just have to link the "hyper-factor" to the "hyperlimit" I use in
my hyperspace rule set.
