In the United States, when a nuclear submarine has "run out of" nuclear fuel for its reactor (this takes many years), the reactor may be opened, and the spent fuel sent for reprocessing at the Naval Reactors facility at the Idaho National Laboratory. The reactor's core may then be refueled. This process can take some time, and handling the spent fuel is dangerous and requires complex procedures to prevent contamination. If the submarine is to be overhauled, or retired, the fuel is removed for reprocessing, and the reactor compartment is cut out of the submarine, sealed, and moved for disposal to the Department of Energy's Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Washington state, where they are kept in dry storage. The submarine may be welded back together, or the sections floated, until a new compartment and reactor are installed, or the vessel is cut up for scrap. Low level radioactive waste may be handled in other ways.
no, its not safe to dispose nuclear waste in water,rather it would be safe to dispose it in common salt trenches.
All countries that have nuclear reactors have nuclear waste and it is always a problem, though a manageable one.
It is the Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository.
its a method use in nuclear waste management where the waste is concentrated and then isolated. this method also use for non nuclear waste management.

Cyclops Nuclear Submarine Captain was created in 1991.
It is indeed.
A nuclear submarine has a reactor . There is no liquid fuel at all.
A submarine, theoretically, can go as long as the food for its sailors last. A submarine can make oxygen, distill water, remove CO2 and other pollutants, and provide almost anything needed to survive at sea and underwater for nearly an indefinite period of time. Modern nuclear-powered submarines' reactors will last without refueling for the life of the submarine - about 20 years. In 1960, the nuclear-powered submarine USS Triton circumnavigated the globe submerged.

The USS Nautilus (SSN-571) was the world's first operational nuclear-powered submarine.
Large startup costs and the generation of nuclear waste
India's first submarine was INS CHAKRA nd first nuclear submarine is INS ARIHANT..
INS- Arihant (first indigenous nuclear powered submarine),, INS- chakra (first nuclear submarine).
The USS Nautilus (SSN-571) was the world's first operational nuclear submarine.
Depending on the size of the submarine and whether it is peace or wartime.U-Boat. 27 -> 57Non Nuclear ~ 40Nuclear ~ 80 (more in wartime)
