Radiation does not leak out like a popped dye pack in water, running everywhere and spreading. Water is an excellent barrier to radiation. If you’ve ever seen a photo of a nuclear reactor, you’ll notice that it’s submerged in water, and standing above the reactor, looking down into the water, you are perfectly safe.
