I highly doubt that's possible. Nuclear simply can't fail, ever. Ships sink, break up, etc. Dotting the oceans with sunken nuclear waste heaps seems less than ideal solution.
My question is reverse - can you absolutely guarantee they won't ever fail? and you can actually clean up any failures if not?
I'm, obviously, not a fan of nuclear anything :) We will also absolutely need nuclear power generation for the next couple decades. Putting them on things that sink seems bad unless there's a very very good justification for them. (like the military advantage)
Are you suggesting that a reactor wouldn't be hardened against such accidents?

Even if the above is adequately answered, apparently we don't yet have a great way to decommission them. https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/navy-ships/a22690208/us-navy-dismantling-uss-enterprise-nuclear-disposal/ Now, imagine [insert country with minimal regulations] doing it.
