Yeah sounds like a primary to secondary leak to me too. And yeah, only way to get the Rx out is through a massive hull cut. Meaning a year minimum in drydock, probably two.
Oh and TDW, I like you! But then again I do get along with nucs pretty well.

Yes, I know that's a ship and not a sub but, they would have needed to cut a big hole in her to remove the pile.

The article quoted in the OP said three years but, that probably covers a complete refit for the entire boat.

As far as cutting holes in ships it's not a big deal. You should see how they do the welding (heat soaking before and after). Integrity of the hull is maintained. |

Ah HY-80 and HY-100 welding, try and weld that cold and it will laugh at you. Titanium is even worse, I still don't think we know how the Soviets did it.
