" Reactor Rods have "special glass" that insulates radiation, as stated by Cory Strader " The recipe calls for glass and lead, I assume the lead is used to make the glass 'special' which shields the radiation. Probably if someone mishandled the rods and cracked the glass there would be radiation leakage, so standard safety protocol would call for a radiation suit as necessary PPE in case of an incident. Riley, an untrained crew member in a survival situation probably isn't so concerned with safety regulations.

I'm sure, however, the PDA will keep a record of his actions and assign him all the due fines for safety violations when he reaches altera space again.
