The Impact of the Van Allen Belts on the Planet

Some scientists were wondering if this was going to have a long lasting effect on other features of nearby space. Did it impact these radiation belts or did it not really have a permanent impact? It had basically no impact on the radiation belts, which contain an enormous amount of energy and could not be affected by one nuclear bomb. The last nuclear test from the US was in the 90s. India and Pakistan detonated nuclear weapons in the very late 90s. North Korea has done tests fairly recently of nuclear weapons. Israel is the only country we think has nuclear weapons but has never done a nuclear test that we know of.
