Steam pressure on a nuclear submarine is far below that of a scuba tank.
Never stated the steam pressure was equal to a scuba tank. As jlnuke pointed out there are other systems on nuke subs beside steam. However some pressures on some reactor systems are/were classified, and since I no longer know which are or aren't, I'll not discuss that further.
Regarding the serious injury from small steam leaks statement.
I am only repeating what active duty (at the time) sub sailors told me when I was working in the shipyard.
If you know better from your experience, I'm not going to dispute it, sailors do tell sea stories after all.
