Have you heard of "Nuclear Subterrenes"  They are tunnneling
machines that have compact nuclear reactors. I have a picture
of one that was published in the Las Vegas Review Journal
some time ago. I'll try to find it and scan it in.
In fact, I just met a guy today who worked at the Yucca Mountain
Nuclear Waste site and he described one to me, but I forgot
the specific name he gave to it.
Anyway, the point being, perhaps these "compact" power plants
would be small enough for a submersible.
