Yes.

But that shielding is apparently an active rather than a passive system and also one which can suffer catastrophic breakdown, most likely due to poor maintenance. Otherwise, there would not be that incident involving the deaths of the entire complement of one of the refinery stations in close orbit around Bowman that's mentioned in Beltstrike, which incident resulted in wages to work there afterward being relatively high (since nobody really believed management's assurances that the problem had been taken care of and would not recur).

Given the often-poor maintenance record of free traders, *I* wouldn't want to fuel skim a gas giant in one of them . . .
