So I read a little about the Van Allen belt. https://www.popsci.com/blog-network/vintage-space/apollo-rocketed-through-van-allen-belts/
I did find the claim that the belts are shaped like donuts convincing. A lot of magnetic fields are shaped like that. So it is plausible to me that the radiation is much less dense in places.
