Why not suit reactor techs in space suits?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) March 15th, 2011

With all that was said about how great the lunar suits were for the astronauts in keeping them safe from radiation and while traveling to the Moon even through the Van Allen belts why not just suit the workers going into the reactors with a scaled down version of them? They would not need to carry their own oxygen if portable air scrubbers can be fitted to use with them. Do you really think the radiation out there with no atmosphere to help protect is less than a energy reactor here?
