Radiation shielding for unmanned lander on Io

Hi

I am studying for an Astrophysics degree. I am carrying out a short
theoretical study considering the problems associated with placing an
" unmanned lander" on the surface (from the point of view of radiation
shielding ) on the surface of the Jovian moon Io. I know that
environment on Io contains extremely strong electromagnetic and
magnetic fields

Can you someone advise me:-

a) where I could find a relevant tutorial on the subject of radiation
shielding.
b) Suiggest links regarding the sort of the radiation protection
techniques required to avoid disruption the the on-bord electronic
intrumentation
c) Can I use the same type of shielding for both magnatic field and
elctromagnetic field
d) The strength of the fields to be expected on Io

Any advice on the topic would extremely appreciated

Harvey
