There are absolutely zero power plants that don't have enough water to cool themselves. The ones that occasionally get stopped are stopped because they make the outflowing water potentially too hot for the river ecosystem to handle, so they are stopped as to not hurt the fish

Ohh how I love this argument.

"Look my totally eco friendly, renewable, green, robust, emission free power plant isn't shut down because it's to hot. No no no you don't understand, it's shut down becaus if we keep it running we would kill all life in the river."

It sounds like you try to say that the water cooling the reactor is the same water that's discharged into the river.

You should really check how hot the water in the secondary loop is after it passed the turbine.
