I mention the Ft. St. Vrain facility only because Howling Wilderness specifically mentions it. While I don't buy into the drought, I'm more inclined to go with the rarity of functioning nuke plants. For instance, there are none in New England. Bummer, because a nuke plant producing 20 MW of electricity in New England could put ammonia fuel into the Coast Guard's ships.
I agree that a nuke plant in decent shape anywhere in the country makes the basis of an interesting adventure as the players try to find experts and materials to bring it back on-line.
