Does a nuclear submarine pollute the fish you eat?
No, it does not. Nuclear submarines are very, very careful with their nuclear waste and it goes to undermountain storage facilities when it's used up, not dumped into the ocean. Also, since the sub is nuclear powered, it doesn't use a lot of the ordinary fuels usually associated with submarines, so once again it doesn't pollute the environment. There may be other risks associated with eating wild fish (,such as mercury contamination), but it's not from the nuclear sub passing by.
