What could make a planet more radioactive at night?

+0
−0

In the story of my video game, I want a group of colonists to land at dawn on an alien planet and have to terraform or build protective structures before sundown (several earth days).

I want the death of the colony if they fail the lethal dose to be within less than an hour, so I would prefer to have a bad-science-instant radiation death instead of death from cold or creatures coming out at night.

I want the game to take place during the day.

The planet is a rocky planet with water.

Edit: There could be on a moon if required.
