Compared to the vast size of the oceans, nuclear subs are very, very small. The contamination that they may leak does basically nothing.

The solution to pollution is dilution. This is why the Japanese decided to dump nuclear waste into the ocean after the incident at Fukushima. It was the best option to get rid of it without having much impact on the environment.
