My headcannon is that you can, in fact, go in the nacelles while they’re operating, and be perfectly safe, but starleet’s corps of engineers tells everyone else that the radiation would kill them so they can have their own, private little space. Like a secret engineers club. (but also, they can transport guests in and have parties without fear of somebody crashing it.)
the replicator in that space lacks the controls to prevent people from fabricating things that are of dubious legality. Like weed, which ordinarily wouldn’t be a problem, except Blazin Bev is a world class stoner; and that forced Picard to order it onto the forbiden list. the killjoy.
I have no idea what I just read, and it makes perfect sense!!

The port nacelle is the grow, obviously.
Lots of “interesting” botanical specimens.
