Coal, gas and nuclear needs more or less identical amounts of cooling per MWh of electricity generated - nuclear plants just pump out a whole lot more GWh.

Should have used non-evaporative cooling, rather than being cheap ですぅ.

Only if it such equipment isn't under the control of proprietary software with remote backdoors.
If such equipment is, someone can turn it off, which clearly isn't reliable.
