no, all nukes made since the early 80s use choke doors rather than
seals, and aren't sealed.

What is a choke door? Even wikipedia is silent on that subject.

If there's no seal, that would explain how the steam gets out, so I am
reassured, thank you very much.

The perimeter of the door is shaped so that it acts like a choke at
2.4GHz. The general public seems wedded to the idea that nuke doors
have seals, it was true in the 1970s but theyre long gone now. The
choke design is much safer.
