这是一位核潜艇艇员最可怕的经历。一场爆炸摧毁了艇上的一枚带有核弹头的弹道导弹,大火在艇内迅速漫延,并失去了控制,核弹头随时都可能发生爆炸。保持艇上两座核反应堆不致过热的冷却系统此时已失去了作用,而大火摧毁了关闭核反应堆的自动控制系统。此时,有两名艇员自告奋勇,冒着生命危险冲进了灼热的、有辐射的反应舱,试图通过手工操作关闭这两座核反应堆,以阻止一场核爆炸的发生。当时舱内温度已超过150度,
This is the worst experience of a nuclear submariner. An explosion destroyed a ballistic missile with a nuclear warhead on board and the fire spread rapidly over the boat and lost control. The nuclear warhead could explode at any time. The cooling system, which kept the two nuclear reactors on the boat from overheating, was already out of action and the fire destroyed an automatic control system that shut down the nuclear reactor. At this juncture, two crew members volunteered to risked their lives and rushed into a hot, radiant reaction chamber trying to shut down the two nuclear reactors by hand to stop a nuclear explosion. At that time the cabin temperature had exceeded 150 degrees,
