Hmm couldnt you use the sea water to cool the rods, and also create steam for clean water?

Any free heating drastically reduces costs in desalination.

With enough small reactors, in stages, it is conceivable to refill many water supplies and get even more power generation through hydroelectric when the water comes back down.

About this sub

Lake Mead provides water to the states of Arizona, California, and Nevada as well as some of Mexico, providing sustenance to nearly 20 million people and large areas of farmland. If the reservoir dips below 895 feet — Lake Mead would reach dead pool, carrying enormous consequences for millions of people across Arizona, California, Nevada and parts of Mexico. Experts from the Bureau of Reclamation say Lake Mead stands at a tier 1 shortage, and have predicted that Lake Mead will reach a tier 2 level by 2023 and a tier 3 level possibly in 2024.
