Radiation buildup is the problem of any nuclear ships.
Refueling: While necessary to extend operational life, it poses challenges related to radiation safety, necessitating advanced shielding and strict protocols.
Would you risk other's lives in refueling?
I sure wouldn't. Safer to decommission. Though that requires risks, it's by far safer.
You would be literally asking those who do it, to risk a horrible death.
Just as with Fukushima it took years before they could get to that reactor. And it's still happening.
