On the California, CGN-36, the engineroom was zoned for maximum hours per day
that a person could remain in a particular area while the reactor was operating.The times ranged from a minimum of 3 h/d along the reactor compartment wall
to 24 h/d in the control room. 

As for weapons, I was never inside the ASROC compartment, so I honestly 
don't know if we had nuclear depth charges aboard, (but who would go to
Iran without them?). However, I don't recall seeing any signs limiting 
exposure in the vicinity of the ASROC compartment. I did tour the Sherwood
Forest area of several boomers, and also don't recall seeing any signs.
In fact, I did see weightlifing equipment and lounge chairs!
