You've never heard of radiation shielding? It is a well-understood concept, even 80 years ago. That would be for the photographs. The TV images were transmitted directly. The cameras were shielded enough that cosmic radiation was not a problem. Van Allen radiation is not present at the Moon. Really? This is what you have been thinking?
Nonsense. The specific shielding materials depend on the nature of the radiation. If there are no neutrons or gamma rays, the requirements are relaxed as to the amount of mass required. I guess you've "heard" of it, but you don't know anything about it. The amount of shielding is also dependent on the allowable dose and the integrated duration of the exposure. It wasn't 2 feet of solid lead.

I have...it's about 2 feet of solid lead.
