Deadly radiation belt. Just sitting out there, between the moon and Earth, eh?
Actually, yes.
"... the beta radiation levels would be dangerous to humans if they were exposed for an extended period of time. The Apollo missions minimised hazards for astronauts by sending spacecraft at high speeds through the thinner areas of the upper belts, bypassing inner belts completely." - Wikipedia
Apparently he inner Van Allen belt contains mostly protons and the outer belt has electrons (beta radiation).

The Van Allen belt or the one caused when we exploded a nuke in outer space? The Van Allen belt caught fire in VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.
