Nope they won't be liking this.
They will be all huddled in the shielded(?) crew compartment.
They are still getting a fair dose right now.
Huge proton spike! |

 | | Re: X3.2 Flare Happening Now | Quote | As a result of the blast, a radiation storm is underway. Based on the energy and number of solar protons streaming past Earth, NOAA ranks the storm as category S2: satellites may experience single-event upsets ("glitches") and passengers in high-flying aircraft at high latitudes may be exposed to elevated radiation risk.
The explosion probably hurled a coronal mass ejection toward Earth. (Confirmation from SOHO is still pending.) Sky watchers should be alert for auroras when it arrives on Dec. 14th or 15th.

People are going to soil themselves in about 4 hours when they see this snowstorm on C2 and C3 from the proton blast. |

Region 10930 produced a major X3.4/4B proton flare peaking at 02:40 UTC on December 13. 4B is the maximum brightness on the brightness scale and occurs very rarely. Strong type II and IV radio sweeps were recorded and an intense proton storm started at Earth soon after the flare. It is likely that a major very fast Earth directed CME was caused by the flare.
