Except that doesn't make sense as anything but authorial fiat. There are a LOT of engineers, scientists, and nuke specialists in uniform and in associated civilian research programs tucked in out of the way places. Preserving these people will be priority for any military organization.

The big hurdle I see with synthetics isn't so much the power requirements, suitable feedstock or even availability of the necessary equipment, but the absolute NEED for suitably trained and skilled technicians and scientists to make it work. Post nuke a team like that would be near impossible to put together, especially when we know nobody is able to gather relatively common reactor techs or hydroelectric engineers to get existing facilities back up and running again.
