The astronauts were in the Van Allen belts for 30 minutes.
Dr. James Van Allen himself said that the Apollo astronauts exposure time would not be lethal. Plus there were no major solar flares that occurred during any of the Apollo missions.
Quite surely the astronauts got radiation equal to a life-times worth of xrays on one trip to the Moon, but these guys were test pilots and very used to putting their lives in danger (in the early 1960s, test pilots were getting killed in the line of duty at the average rate of one per week); An increased risk of getting cancer within their lifetimes was one of their lesser concerns.
