I welcome any advice or comments on the above
There is negligible risk for passengers, as they are unlikely to receive more radiation than say a dental x-ray.

As for the crew...not so easy...well.... inexpensive as your fuel burn goes up with payload. Actually I am a little surprised the likes of Slater and Gordon have not already launched a class action for crew.
