If I remember right, this was pushed through development at the behest of Hyman Rickover and Dr. John Craven . Dr. John Craven, as Chief Scientist of the Special Projects Office, was in charge of the Deep Submergence systems projects, which included the Sealab program and the NR-1 was part of that. The NR-1 also featured a nuclear reactor as well.
