The nuclear submarine wasn't actually "invented" by an individual. It was conceptualized by a number of people who saw the great leap forward that could be afforded by the application of nuclear power to submarine propulsion.

Jules Verne, while not specific enough about the power source on his fictional submarine Nautilus ('it was completely powered by electricity'), was just a step of imagination away from the idea of a "magic" substance or principle that would power the whole thing up. (It is interesting that, as we look back, a lot of advanced technology could be seen by less developed peoples as "magic" as has been supposed in so many fictional books, television shows and films.) Finally, the United States was the first to get a design off the drawing board, assemble the thing, and sail it into history. Nautilus 90 North.

Admiral Hyman George Rickover was the first person to patent the nuclear submarine.
