If I had to hazard a guess, such suits exist, but they're too bulky and/or expensive to be practical.

Just for the notion, the suits can whistand the radiation for a while. They're about a effective as your standard A level hazmat suit, though less strong and with limited respiration capability.

So not 100%, but it should be sufficient for low-medium radiation conditions for a short while. Besides, the human body can take some radiation, as long as there's no direct contact with radioactive materials.

I'd say hail them first. Could give someone quite a shock if your team bursts aboard suddenly.
Also, quick question, can anyone fly the ship other than Max? Just considering sending him along with the others.

I would ask why fire can burn two men to death without getting hot enough to burn a book, but then I read "INEXTINGUISHABLE RUNNING KAMIKAZE RADIOACTIVE FLAMING ZOMBIE" and realized that logic, reason, and physics are all occupied with crying in the corner right now.

In a haughty tone "I don't know. Our view is fried because of the radiation. All I see is a big red ball of energy. And the name is Shia, voidbreather."

Shia saddles up, loading two more magazines into her left chest pouch, sewn onto the spacesuit with unmatching fabric and fishing wire (ugly, but effective), and begins on filling another with Voidproof brand rounds. Finally finishing she slings her rifle and seals her helmet.

"First and second fireteams, form up!"

As people scurry about Shia stands there tapping her foot on the potmetal floor of the hanger bay. After a moment two groups of four are standing there one behind the other.

Shia steps forward smartly, her voice digitalized and tinny over a long used voicemmiter. She speaks, exsentuating tones in each word like orders. "Hydrogen squad, Reeport!"

The squad leader steps forward rendering a salute and saying in the voice of an long time smoker "Hydrogen squad, all present and accounted for."

Shia returns the salute and drops it as her first sentence comes to an end. "Very well. Hydrogen squad, I will turn you over to your squad leader until I recieve further orders from the crew over my helm radio."

"At ease!" the squad leader yells. The group takes on a more relaxed posture.

Shia does her best to stand at parade rest in her bulky garishly colored suit. Shia frowns under her visor at the bright orange of the spacesuit clad ragtag group. The color looks like a dye job with the leftover bits of hairdyes and orange popsickles, faded in some places and stained in others due to hydrolic fluids and other mechanical liquids. Shia is unpleased.

You try to contact the ship, but it doesn't respond, nor do automated identification requests give back a result. Either they're not hearing you due to interference, or there's nobody there to answer. You briefly consider to bounce a railgun shell of their hull to get their attention, but decide that seeing if you can't get some more information out of the sensors might be a better idea.

While the sensors are completely incapable of getting more information of the ship, you do manage to get a more detailed visual on it, as well as some other interesting information. The visual indicates that the ship is still in working order, though it does appear to have been lacking in proper maintenance recently. There are no signs of battle, nor any major hull breaches. Several meteroid impacts are visible, but none should have provided danger to the ship.

The  other instruments do give some more interesting results. The most prominent being that the radiation levels appear to oscillate with a certain frequency, which matches with the firing patern of the Laser fusion reactors used in these types of ships. This strongly indicates that the ship is, for some reason, operating without active core containment. From the radioactivity levels of the rest of the ship, you'd say at least a week or 2.

((Sorry, but I'm going to end the post here. Sleeping first, posting later))

"Shall we investigate?"
George prepares to treat radiation sickness, whether of his crewmates or those they bring back.

Shia comes to attention and walks over to George.

"You're coming along, doc? How much time can we stick around in there? These suits can't provide much protection, anything I should tell Hydrogen to look out for, symptoms of radiation sickness wise I mean? I don't like this one bit. Some irradiated ghost ship isn't exactly my top vacation site."

"I was thinking if staying behind so I can make sure I'm at my best if I need to treat any of you guys. Fine with you, Private?"

Shia cocks her head and walks away without answering.

"Quack. Petty officer second class actually, but yeah, private works too I suppose."

Shia replaces herself, returning to parade rest.
