Skylab-3 and Salyut-6 detected fluxes of C, N, and O nuclei with energies above 8 MeV/nucleon in the inner radiation belt in the region of the Brazilian magnetic anomaly. It is shown in the present study that these fluxes are not an anomaly but a constituent part of the inner radiation belt. Results indicate that the dominant role in the formation of the high-energy nuclear component in the lower part of the magnetosphere is played by the radial diffusion of solar-cosmic-ray particles captured in the geomagnetic field on outer magnetic shells at L not less than 6.
