Would nuclear reactors be feasible everywhere?
Seeing that they need quite a lot of clean water, which is not widely available everywhere during the entire year in big amounts, especially with these droughts due to climate change.

Most power generation methods like coal have similar requirements, and it doesn't have to be clean water. In costal areas, seawater can be used just fine.
Can this be an effective method of desalinization?
If seawater is used, couldn't the steam be captured for fresh water?
You use seawater for cooling the systems. You could use excess power to run desalination plants, but not use the reactor directly.
