Why doesn't radiation penetrate apolo13 when it went to the moon?

Radiation is a risk to all space and earth travelers. Your space radiation exposure increases when you take an international flight. The earth's magnetic field protects us from most cosmic radiation. The Apollo Astronauts (as all astronauts) were exposed to increased radiation when they traveled outside of earth's magnetic field from two sources. First, the relatively stable galactic radiation from deep space. Second, variable Solar radiation from the Sun which we call Solar Activity. So the answer is radiation did penetrate the Apollo 13 spacecraft during their journey, as it does all spacecraft, just not enough to make the crew sick or significantly increase their risk of cancer.
