Why Nuclear Submarines Cannot Touch the Bottom

Why Nuclear Submarines Cannot Touch the Bottom?
Nuclear submarines use radioactive fuel to turn water into steam. The resulting steam rotates turbine generators, which produce electricity to propel the ship and power various onboard equipment. Radioactive materials release thermal energy in the process of nuclear decay. A huge amount of energy is released in the process. On a nuclear submarine, this process takes place in the nuclear reactor, which is continuously cooled with intake water to avoid overheating the reactor. The intake water device for cooling the reactor is located in the lower part of the ship. Because of this design feature nuclear submarines are not supposed to touch the bottom of the sea, but are kept from the bottom at least 40 meters deep. In order not to spoil the cooling system of the nuclear reactor.
