In the case of a ship or sub, in the event of both catastrophic failure, or even a material leak, its likely going to end up in the ocean. Water is an excellent radiation shield (though I guess it doesn't matter much, since no one would be around), and even a materials leak gets diluted until its not an immediate risk. RIP ocean microbes though
