Submarine komsomolets has been at the bottom for 17 years and no radiation leakage she sits near the norwiegen coast.

K8 sank near the western approaches 1970 no reported issues.

The nuclear fuel would have to melt down to make any form of contamination, even then it wouldnt be muchnothing like chernobyl fall out because the melted core would cool in the sea water a bit like a volcanos lava.

Also the fuel is house ina submarine that has a sealed compartment that also has a water and air tight reactor so whats the odds ?
