I did an environmental due diligence for insurance on the De-Sal Plant in downtown Santa Barbara 20 years ago, it was pretty interesting. The City/County is now talking about reviving that plant. They ran an intake pipe inside an old sewage pipe that went a mile or two out into the ocean.

If you think about it, De-Sal plants make a lot of sense with nukes. They need cooling water, seawater turns to steam which is pure water vapor. Put in another seawater cooling loop and turn the steam into condensed fresh water.
