This can in theory happen to any steam-based power plant. Using steam to generate electricity is about 30% efficient. So you still need to get rid of the other 70% of heat that is generated, but not converted to electricity.

So it would also happen to power plants that burn coal.

This! People think this is a "nuclear" problem. .it is a cooling water problem regardless of where the heat came from.
