Getting humans through that high radiation zone without cooking them is also going to be a toughie.

They'll just do what Apollo did: adjust the trajectory of the vehicle's path to and from the moon so that it goes over or under the plane of the Van Allen Belts.

Your thinking is very…
…two dimensional.

IIRC, the officially described trajectories of the Apollo missions all included at least a brief Van Allen belt intersection/transit.
