We can’t even get astronauts through the Van Allen Belts.

The Apollo missions were launched at 75 degrees relative to the equator, placing the trajectory northward. The craft then passed through the hole in the doughnut-shaped Van Allen belts. Apollo then passed through the outer fringe of the belt for only ten minutes.

The Apollo capsule is made of 3/8" aircraft aluminum with 1/8" of ceramic over than. Radiation dosage depends upon field strength, exposure time, and shielding. The astronauts were subjected to the equivalent of a single chest X-ray when the left the earth.

If you do even a modest amount of research, you would find that all went well with Apollo. There is even an article by Dr. Van Allen regarding this.
