Unfortunately, operating reactors tend to irradiate everything around them, so even if everything works great and you core stays intact, you end up with a highly radioactive spaceship.
I recently read "Atomic Accidents: A History of Nuclear Meltdowns and Disasters: From the Ozark Mountains to Fukushima"; which talks about a bunch of "experiments" that led to issues. It was very enlightening.

" Specifically, the new evidence – based on modelling of air mass movements around the time of the accident – indicates Russia's Mayak nuclear complex in the southern Urals "should be considered as a likely candidate for the release", the researchers conclude. "
No surprise there. I've been reading "Atomic Accidents: A History of Nuclear Meltdowns and Disasters: From the Ozark Mountains to Fukushima" and the stuff Russia has let happen at Mayak makes even the US during the 50s and 60s look good.
Atomic Accidents by James Mahaffey has a chapter on them. It's only a chapter, but it goes into the scientific details of what happened to their bodies without getting too complex for a layman reader. The book overall is wonderful and I highly recommend reading the whole thing. It's free to read on Kindle Unlimited if you have Prime. I also recommend his first book, Atomic Awakening, for a general history of nuclear power.
