Damage from a solar flare

If a ship was somehow close to a sun and got hit directly by a solar flare, how much damage in tons would it receive?

I'd have to do some calculations, but I'd say at least buckets o' damage.

In English units, of course, it's called a "wicked ton."

Do you mean like in equivalent tons of TNT, or do you mean how many tons like PSI is exerted upon the hull?

How close is the ship and how severe is the flare?
