A little radiation never hurt anyone.
Chernobyl Under the Sea ...
You have a fueled nuclear reactor sitting at the bottom of a salt water ocean. What could possibly go wrong? Don’t worry it will all be good in about 100,000 years.
Hi.
“What is the normal radiation level of a sunken Russian nuclear submarine?”
Good question. Well, there are a number of Soviet subs on the bottom of the oceans to test for a good sample size.
5.56mm
It’s a mile down - unless someone goes swimming down there, they’ll be fine regarding the radiation, but there won’t be much left of them from the pressure, though.
“The reactor scrammed”
Well that’s certainly understandable! Did they ever find out where it went?;)
Cancel my order for a case of Norwegian sardines.
I thought that fresh Tuna i ate last night tasted funny.
Fukushima leaks more than that every minute and nobody cares.
Ivan sure loses a lot of boats.
That being said, its not really discussed how much we visit the Scorpion and Thresher to check on their environmental impact.
Last one I heard of was Bob Ballard was doing a check on Scorpion in mid ‘80s.
Both of those boats were pretty mangled, with the Scorpion have its after section telescoping into the rest of the pressure hull, presumably straight through the engineering spaces.
That could not have been good for the reactor....
