PRECISELY, Sir.
Civilian reactors got 12 feet of concrete as shielding. Subs got inches of steel (steel that has been rusting I might add) and it is an extremely tight space that you might as well be kissing the reactor.
I take my beret off to the submariner crowd and I salute those willing to live beside a big bad pissed off fireball that has a mind of its own.
Also, Sir, your last statement does bring a new meaning of blowing it out of your a s s.
