Of course it's not a nuclear explosion, just a containment failure. Don't worry about those fission products, the Russians have experience with them.

Fun fact, we intentionally blew up a nuclear propulsion reactor/rocket at the Nevada Test site just to see how bad it would be as a safety test.

Pretty bad, it turns out!

But not as bad as they feared (ie if it crashed it wouldn't turn into a nuclear weapon).

Tangential to this: For some real OSHA fun, I highly recommend reading Eric Schlosser's "Command & Control" about US nuclear weapon security. It focuses on the Damascus Titan missile explosion (which is a great story in itself) but there are also many reports of other accidents.

They're working on it again although it's very early days, and I don't see how they'll stop people being freaked out by it... people would probably protest about launching a lightspeed drive if it was nuclear powered.

I see even nuclear scientists do the same stupid poo poo as everyone else:

There were three fatal accidents during Project Rover. One worker was killed in a motor vehicle accident. Another died from burns after tipping gasoline on classified computer tapes and setting them alight to dispose of them. A third entered a nitrogen tank and was asphyxiated.

Reading this book I found out, by talking about it with a coworker who I guessed would be interested in it, that said coworker had been a Commander at SAC in Little Rock during the 80s, just after Damascus. He's promised to show me some of his collection of cool stuff from that time. On the plus side, I did guess correctly that he would be interested.

Surface supply diving with rip-resistant everything while wearing a full face mask and sealed dry suit almost sounds nice, until you remember what they’re diving in :vomarine: Hopefully it’s just some kind of normal maintenance and you’re not down there to try and clear an obstruction or recover something that fell in.
