Second, said general public is terrified of nuclear anything.
Third, the confined interior spaces probably wouldn't play well with a general public that often won't even cruise without a balcony, let alone without a cabin.
It's a fascinating idea and would be quite a novelty but I doubt it could happen.

The general public indeed but remember that a supposed audience for this would be a elite group willing to pay for such a way of travelling just for the trill of it, just like there is a group willing to pay for QE2’s mystique.
Who would have thought people would pay to sit in a crammed up bubble sub for many hours to get a few minutes glimpse of a rusting metal named Titanic!
There is always a market the only trick for someone bold enough to recognize this market is to lure an audience to this market in some sort of way. There are enough people who fell for the Tell sell commercials and buy complete useless stuff so why would there be a small scale audience for submarine travel.
You could have several themes like rein act the days of the cold war.
Of course there is the safety rules which probably are harder to comply with then finding an audience!

Space is very small as are the sleeping quarters & mess. To pass other people in the corriders, you had to turn to the side and that was in my "thinner" days.
One of the entertainers come on board with us and he got out of there as fast as he could.
And, to climb the ladder to get in and out of the sub was very difficult.
The sailors thought it was great being docked with us as they could look through the periscope at all the gals in their their bikinis.
There is no way I would want to be in a submerged sub, but then I guess for some people it is an adventure.
