#2 Not impossible, but highly inprobable. For one thing, we have (and had) much better seabottom recovery capabilities than the Soviets. And they did *not* like to leave things around where US intelligence might get their hands on them.

#3 "Where do you want this VW Beetle sized chunk of salt at?"

Even if they did exist, and I doubt it, after 25 years without maintance they would be no doubt quite useless.

#6 No doubt quite useless. I wonder whether the nuclear materials, if actually there and if eventually exposed by corrosion, would actually pose much risk. I speculate that they would be solids that would corrode slowly if at all and would be buried in sediments that would mitigate dispersion of the corrosion byproducts.
