The bottom shielding structure 5 is located below the primary shielding structure 3. The bottom shielding structure 4 is located below the reactor compartment shielding structure 2.

[0024] Specifically, in this embodiment, both the bottom shielding structure 4 and the bottom shielding structure 5 are enclosed to form a closed structure (that is, from...). Figure 2 and Figure 3 From this top-down view, the area enclosed by the bilge shielding structure 4 and the sump shielding structure 5 is a closed structure, thus ensuring its shielding effect. Both the bilge shielding structure 4 and the sump shielding structure 5 are sealed to the hull structure, thus further ensuring their shielding effect.

[0025] Furthermore, a gap is provided between the bottom shielding structure 4 and the bottom shielding structure 5. By adopting a two-stage shielding structure, the weight of this shielding structure can be reduced compared to using a large shielding structure.
