On: NASA Probe Finds Ice and Organics on Mercury

I was just thinking of electromagnetic radiation. Just do the same as you'd do on Mars or on the moon. Bury the habitats in 6 feet of regolith.

Radiation is proportionally more intense at Mercury so you'd need thicker cover and you'd probably want to spend less time outside. Also, just getting there would be kind of a problem, radiation protection wise. Probably easier than trying to set up a base on a Galilean moon though.
