I think all the nuclear fuel tends to clump together and is heavier than water, so unless something happened to the reactor itself, the impact to the environment of a sub going down should be minimal.
The US does periodic environmental studies in the areas where Thresher and Scorpon went down, and haven't discovered anything "bad" yet.
