Shielding would be bit of an issue. But im sure in a few more years there will be adequate shielding.
I'd imagine its what would happen in the event of a crash, and radiation escaping etc

Wouldn't think sheilding would be much of an issue as we are talking a tiny reactor not a massive power plant.
