At sea, he said, the danger that radiation from the reactor which drives the sub may damage the crew's health is negligible, so effective is its lead shielding. But in port (where pre-atomic subs represented no hazard) the danger skyrockets: part of the shielding may be removed for nucleonics technicians to work on the power plant. Another oddity: though detectable radiation gets into the air and might conceivably build up to health-hazard proportions, it does not come from the reactor. The heavy villains are the radium-painted...

With Nautilus and Seawolf staying below for days and even weeks, the concentration of this gas built up to a point where many crew members had irritation in their respiratory systems; undetected and uncorrected, it would have become a definite health hazard...
