But the desalination process is powered by the energy manufacturing, the water is not shared between them. I was more thinking about the safety and capability of the energy manufacturing, as fallout makes other systems much more difficult.
Well, yes, dumping irradiated water into the ocean was always an option. So long as the power-generating components aren’t the same as the desalination components, you’re good as far as the potable water is concerned. This isn’t much of a solution for the irradiated water, though, any more than just dumping it into the ocean was in the first place.
