France is already an exporter again, and was an exporter for 50 years. They had to import electricity for one year. And, of course, they investigated why this happened, and it was because of anti-nuclear politics. A Whole power plant with multiple reactors was closed to appease Germany, for example. https://www.euractiv.com/section/energy/interview/french-mp-says-eu-must-play-its-part-in-blocs-decarbonisation-plans/ https://www.euractiv.com/section/energy/interview/french-mp-... And enough water IS available for cooling. The output was only reduced in some power plants because the temperature difference between river inlet and river outlet was too big, which could cause issues to animals in the water. This was less than 0.2% of the total electricity produced by nuclear in 2022. There is an easy fix though: cooling towers.
