Weird fact, you could technically swim in a cooling pond if the reactor is in shutdown or idle. It's not particularly smart but also not particularly deadly unless you dive down closer to the tractor body itself.

    A guy fell in the moon pool at a nuke I was working at. He was out less than ten seconds later. It caused a full inventory since the basket was out of the reactor and the tops of the fuel rods were exposed. Its frowned upon to the point the guy got a early layoff.
