How close do you live to a nuclear weapon?

[MechAg94]

The world's nuclear powers have built a long history of NOT accidentally setting off strategic weapons. I worry more about traffic on the freeway.

You mean they don't just go off if you cut the wrong wire?  Or look at them funny? 

I have heard they put a lot into the design so they only go off when intended.

I slept within 500' of 8 nuclear reactors when I was stationed on the USS Enterprise.

I don't need to use a night light in my bedroom.

My at sea watch station was less than 40' from the reactor. Of course on a 637 class boat you can't actually get even 150' away and stay dry.
The off watch bull sessions in the torpedo room might have been less than 20' from any hypothetical "special" weapons we could neither confirm or deny the presence of.

I've always wanted a nuke small enough to put under my glass topped coffee table.  Thought it would make a great conversation piece.

This. I suppose I could always Form-1 a crude gun-type and set it up sans energetics and isotopes.

Do they make glass that block radioactivity?

Many types of glass contain lead. The radiation shielding glass gets its green tint from the lead content.
