Means the same as "come hell or high water." - https://www.barrypopik.com/index.php/new_york_city/entry/harelips_the_governor_hare_lips_the_governor
Pretty sure it's a reference to getting a dose of radiation from close contact with the bomb.

Oh okay. I guess that could be correct. Thanks.

It's barely radioactive. Opening your smoke detector is worse!
shareI still think that is what he meant. See, I figure when he said that he understood the workings of the plane well enough that he knew he was going to have to climb up and straddle the bomb to reach the malfunction.
So, he didn't have to believe his nuts were actually in jeopardy to see the black humor of plopping them down on a multi-megaton warhead.
