> nuclear energy couldn't be used anymore because there wasn't enough water in the rivers for the process anymore

That's a deformation; production had to be reduced (not stopped), not because there was not any water anymore, but because the exhaust water temperature would have been over the threshold for ecosystem stability. The plants could have been run at full power if we were OK with toasting the shellfishes.
