I'm guessing, but since he said it in the context of describing naval service and the nuclear propulsion program, the following apply from https://fas.org/sgp/classdoe.htm.

"Q Sensitive allow access to Special Nuclear Material (SNM) category 1. An employee with a Q sensitive clearance could have access to nuclear weapons design, manufacture, or use data; disclosure could cause exceptionally grave damage to the nation.

Q Nonsensitive allow access to Special Nuclear Material (SNM) category 2. The higher the SNM category, the more readily the material could be converted to a nuclear explosive device. Categories 1 and 2 require special protection, such as armed guards."

Some people (not all by any stretch) trying to equate it with some "Q" bullshit, which is a whole other kettle of fish and I would say completely unrelated
