None of the above. They will get more radiation than an average person, but not more than a worker in the nuclear industry. NASA uses the same government standards for radiation exposure as every other employer.
Here is a quote from the NASA document in the source:
federal guideline is an exposure of 50 rem BFO per year. The International Space Station requirement is 40 rem BFO per year. Current analysis of USOS predicts maximum exposure of 16 rem BFO per year.

It is not radiation but your body compensates for the loss of gravity by dumping calcium. with no gravity the body doesn't need the big bone structure. Most of the time if they are up over 6 months after they land they can not walk.They could break a bone easily.
