Currently everybody in New Orleans who isn’t emptying store shelves of bottled water is trying to secure water filters that will remove lead because of the thought of what saltwater will do to lead pipes. Personally, I’m wondering why they’re not using 9 mile point nuclear plant as a big desalination energy source.

Can’t you just evaporate out the cooling water after it cools the reactor instead of powering a desalination plant? Same brine waste problem either way
