Yes.  See

RADIATION PROTECTION AND INSTRUMENTATION.  In BIOMEDICAL RESULTS OF APOLLO
http://lsda.jsc.nasa.gov/books/apollo/S2ch3.htm

Spaceflight Radiation Health Program at JSC

for brief information on Apollo missions solar flares exposures, search on 
Apollo or lunar.

Searches of PubMed on variations of Apollo AND radiation, "Apollo 
missions" AND radiation, etc., yield a number of articles related to 
cosmic radiation and solar proton event (SPE)radiation exposures and 
challenges posed in future LEO, lunar, and deep space missions.
