You're not reading it correctly. If you read the actual paper, you'll see they are talking about simulating long-term missions, as in a mission to mars:

Now if I comprehend the text correctly, even with the thick aluminum shielding, these mice were sickened by the radiation? Was this due to bremsstrahlung? If so, then it supports my point.
This is particularly true for a mission to Mars. Approximately 8–12 mo will be spent in transit without the benefit of a protective terrestrial atmosphere and geomagnetic field. Beyond the Van Allen Belts, astro- nauts will likely be exposed to external radiation sources such as galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) and solar particle events (SPEs). For the current Mars Reference Mission, exposures are estimated at approximately 0.7 Sv dose equivalent due to GCRs and quiescent solar activity. Large SPEs could add another 2 or more Gy of proton exposure to this GCR dose, depending on shielding conditions. Worst case scenarios are based on the maximum fluence and energy spectra of the three largest observed SPEs in 1956, 1972, and 1989.
The differences in dose composition between pristine and shielded proton fields did not lead to significant effects in most measures

Here is what I think.
You saw JW's follow up video.
He explains why he believes the Apollo space craft was unshielded.
Now you are coming up with work-a-around to suggest it was protected and to cover
your earlier erroneous accusation that JW manipulated his viewers
by not stating that the radiation charts he cited was based on no shielding.
Here is what I think: if the video in question existed when I made my post, you would immediately have drawn everyone's attention to it so you could make accusations against me. It did not. Jarrah white added videos 8 and 9 to the series specifically to avoid having this thread moved to the [HOAX] forum. I don't have time to deal with this at the moment, but when I do, you'll be banned from yet another form Jarrah White.

Ummmmm......"JW"s Part "8"??? Did you NOT see the date it was uploaded to YouTube??
DECEMBER 26, 2010
This thread ends with the new year.
Jarrah White has willfully presented material that he knew beforehand was simply false.

The final section of the film portrays the launching of the first Soviet man into space, the first space station, and the first landing on the moon. In creating this footage Klushantsev created marvellous special effects, using techniques copied by Stanley Kubrick ten years later for 2001: A Space Odyssey. Indeed, some sequences in 2001 seems a shot-for-shot duplication of Road to the Stars…

In other words a straight 3 or 4 Gy dose produced by direct exposure to the proton beam was largely identical to a 3 or 4 Gy dose produced by the proton beam through 15 g/cm^2 shielding. Remember, they're comparing equivalent doses, they are not testing the effectiveness of the shielding in reducing dosage rates. They are just looking at two different kinds of exposure: pristine protons, and protons and other associated radiation produced through scattering inside the shielding.

They did. Here's a link to a Russian movie called "Road to the Stars", which was made in 1954. They compare it to Stanley Kubricks "2001: A Space Odyssey". (Link)

So wait a minute,
3 or 4 Gy is the amount of radiation inside the ship.
So the question is, with 15 g/m of aluminum shielding, how much
radiation had to be outside of the ship for an exposure 3 to 4 Gy inside the ship?
As used in this paper, “shielded” will refer to the beam of modified composition produced by passage through aluminum but all exposure comparisons will be based on equal physical doses delivered to the animals. There were five groups of animals: 3 & 4 Gy unshielded, 3 & 4 Gy shielded, and sham-irradiated controls.

Because you can't photograph the corona from earth except during an eclipse.

I have a friend who was a worker on the Saturn 5 rocket project during his military stint. He worked in Texas and elsewhere. he has documents on his wall, certificates of participation int he late 60's.
I showed him "A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the Moon", he was pissed. He knew something wasn't right with there being no crater under the landing module and dismissed it out of hand, he now KNOWS we never went to the moon with the apollo missions.
Great job, S&F.

Of course one of the more ironic aspects of the moon hoaxies insisting that the shielding wasn't good enough is that 36 of 39 apollo astronauts suffer from cataracts.
They must have used some very intense lighting on those sets!
October 22, 2004: Gazing out of their space capsules, Apollo astronauts witnessed sights that humans had never before seen. They saw the breathtaking view of the Earth's bright blue disc against the inky black of space. They saw the far side of the Moon. They also saw strange flashes of light inside their eyeballs!
Needless to say, this is not good for your eyes. Years after returning to Earth, many of these astronauts developed cataracts--a clouding of the lens, which focuses light onto the retina.
At least 39 former astronauts have suffered some form of cataracts after flying in space, according to a 2001 study by Francis Cucinotta of NASA's Johnson Space Center (see journal references below). Of those 39 astronauts, 36 had flown on high-radiation missions such as the Apollo Moon landings. Some cataracts appeared as soon as 4 or 5 years after the mission, but others took 10 or more years to manifest.
Scientists have long known of this link between radiation and cataracts, but they've never fully understood it. What exactly does radiation do to the lens of the eye to make it cloudy? Are astronauts' genes involved? Which ones? Source science.nasa.gov...
Cataracts develop for a variety of reasons, including long-term exposure to ultraviolet light, exposure to radiation, secondary effects of diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and advanced age, or trauma (possibly much earlier); they are usually a result of denaturation of lens protein. A study among Icelandair pilots showed commercial airline pilots are three times more likely to develop cataracts than people with non-flying jobs. This is thought to be caused by excessive exposure to radiation coming from outer space. ... And, Some drugs can induce cataract development, such as corticosteroids[26] and Seroquel. Source Wiki en.wikipedia.org...
Quetiapine (pronounced /kwɨˈtaɪ.əpiːn/ kwi-TYE-ə-peen), marketed by AstraZeneca as Seroquel and by Orion Pharma as Ketipinor, is an atypical antipsychotic approved for the treatment of schizophrenia, acute episodes of bipolar disorder (manic, mixed or depressive), and as an augmentor for the maintenance treatment of depression and bipolar disorder.

Well if you think about it.
Anyone who had to lie for 40 years on a subject the scale of a moon landing probably
needed drugs to get by.
