I think you should check out this site, it explains everything about the icebreakers since they first show up. Hope this helps with your doubts :)

No -- most of our top-of-the line ice-breakers are diesel
Diesel engines have more torque, better pushing power, and thus are more effective -- nuclear is just good for long duration missions.

We don't have a nuke, The world will know when we do, it is not a secret. This would make headlines.
