Radioactive--? Isn't stuff like that just a problem? I know my Eva can withstand a lot of damage, but what if that part gets hit badly enough that it starts releasing radiation everywhere? It's bad enough trying to prevent damage to the city and surrounding area, which is why Tokyo-3 is constructed the way it is, but we don't need that on top of it!

And what about my safety as a pilot? I'd be the first one exposed in that scenario, and an Eva without a pilot is useless!
