Dials & Smoking. Dr. Dobbins' report noted many oddities. 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...

...blueprinted, the plan calls for at least ten subs, and perhaps 20, stationed at points in the Atlantic, Arctic, Pacific and Indian Oceans, the Mediterranean Sea and the Persian Gulf. Without surfacing, a sub crew could launch sixteen 28,500-lb. missiles up through the water and into the sky within 15 minutes. And moments after launching, the sub could be well on its escape route, beyond any known Russian sub-finding capability. With the minimum ten subs on station, the U.S. Navy would be sitting within striking distance of 95% of the more populated Communist cities...

He made a target date of 1963, put his men and contractors to work on system-development projects that enveloped the whole weapon-a new kind of nuclear sub, fuels, missiles, guidance networks, navigation...
