not one of those incidents were due to reactor failure. running a reactor is complicated. operating a submarine at depths is also complicated. combining them doesn't mean either one gets less complicated. a failure of some complicated part of the submarine does not mean the power source failed. assuming they do with flippant "but subs have sunk" comments is just disingenuous at best.

I'm not really concerned with the events of the Soviet/Russian navy, as they are not the ones regulating anything that concerns me.
