ABSTRACT:
An improved containment for radiation shielding and pressure suppression is presented. The arrangement, which is particularly suited for marine propulsion application, includes, in a preferred embodiment, a double wall containment shell including water as a biological shield, a divided wet well arrangement and means for precluding discontinuity of the radiation shielding effect due to shifting of the liquid in the wet well at various ship attitudes.
