Just finished watching the DVD "K19 - The Widowmaker".  A great Cold War sub
movie obviously intended for a mainstream audience, with Harrison Ford and
Liam Neeson in the lead roles.

99.99% metric, from the depth in meters, to the distance to port in
kilometers, to the overheating reactor core temperature in degrees C.  Only
one refererence in the entire movie to the ocean being "over a mile deep
where we are now".

Very enjoyable, not quite as action-packed as U571, Das Boat, or Red
October, but quite good.

PS Not sure I understand that the reactor could reach critical mass and
explode, I know civilian reactors fundamentally cannot.
