Hmm, Aktung said something about "nuclear" context, and "electromagnetic"

Reactor cooling system?

Only in the sense of the nuclear era ie Cold War and any number of electro magnetic devices to accommodate communications and atmosphere mixology transfer valves for crew habitation/breathing; generally under pressure...which on occasion proved mortal. Eichhörnchen got the name half right in post 725!

exactly, in fact "caisson disease" was a major issue; costing lives in on accidental surfacing. Now 4 the name...which Eich has already partially broached inadvertantly but abley...

Congratulations to Eichhörnchen
This was a nice one and a fascinating read in this link, have never seen nor heard of this. Sealab and Cousteau's yes, but not Chernomor.
(Sealab III also seems to have become a disaster: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEALAB)

Thanks, Kai - when it became apparent that this was some kind of undersea (perhaps polar) dwelling, I added my previous 'half correct' answer into a search for "underwater habitation cher"

A very difficult one so well done, Aktung



Now where would you have seen this?
