Their spacecraft was enough to protect them from the Van Allen belt. The radiation they received while going through it was no more than a normal chest x-ray.
The Van Allen radiation belts are layers of plasma particles that are around the earth in the magnetosphere. These radiation belts were confirmed to exist in 1958 by James Van Allen. There is an outer and inner belt. The belts can cause problems for both satellites and any rockets or other vehicles that travel through the belts.
No, there are no "Radiation belts between the Earth and Moon. However. they do travel through the "Van Allen Belt". this is a "Belt" created by the earth's magnetic field that shields the earth from the some of the ratiation of the Sun and outerspace. Once an astronaut is outside of this "Belt" they are exposed to a higher level of radiation. The Van Allen Belt is highest at the earth's equator and lowest at the earths poles.
The layer you are referring to is known as the magnetosphere, which contains the Van Allen radiation belts. These belts are regions of high-energy particles held in place by Earth's magnetic field. They play a crucial role in protecting Earth from solar and cosmic radiation.
In my house
Planet Earth has a Van Allen radiation belt, layers of energetic charged particles suspended by a magnetic field.

The Van Allen Radiation Belt touches the Earth at the poles and extends out into space up to 19,000 kilometers in a circular shape before coming back around to the opposite pole. Google Van Allen in Google Images for pictures.

The Van Allen belt, named after its discover James Van Allen, is located in the inner region of the earth's magnetosphere. Electrons form the outer belt while a combination of electrons and protons make up the inner belt.
