      Because a submarine is much more expensive than reactor parts? I dont think NK has 800million dollars to give russia. Plus, NK would love nothing more than boast about their own nuclear submarine.

      Submarines are sealed units. You can’t really retrofit them. If it doesn’t fit through a hatch, you have to cut the hull, which can create a weakness when it’s under pressure.
