"there was no damage to the nuclear reactor that powers the submarine nor the ship's weapons systems"

... good.

Of course not. No such thing ever happens. Nope.

Are nuclear reactors shock-proof?
The shock here was enough to kill one man.
Someone should go with a Geiger counter at the location of the crash.

A radioactive leak at sea would be pretty harmless. Water blocks the radiation effectively, and also dilutes the radioactives to safe levels very quickly.

Oh no it would be pretty harmless, considering, y'know everyone onboard the sub would DIE from radiation poisoning.

Well yeah, being on board would be no fun, that's true. I'm thinking you've gotta be pretty crazy to close yourself in a tin can deep under the sea together with a nuclear reactor, though.

Haha, >>7 wins now and forever for that reply. XD
