"water generator"? Oh, you meant the "Hydro generator" that Monty set off in Azgeda?

Yeah, that's a touch call. You want 25 people in slavery or hundreds in your camp live? I love the show exactly because of those stupid decisions. It is a wrong decision, but I can see why Monty did it.

That thing is not nuclear. So it's actually had nothing to do with the OP.

I think given the latest developments in nuclear technology, yes, it's possible to have nuclear plants keep running for one hundreds years without maintenance. Bill Gates himself invested a company who is doing research on that. However, I don't think the nuclear plants will explode and cause another world wide apacolypse like the TV series depicted. The future nuclear plants will automatically shutdown itself, if the maintenance is going bad. It will automatically move all the nuclear fission material to a safe place and store it there forever. The "move" is by physics, not machines, so even with no power, the nuclear materials will be stored in safe containment. So relax. It's just TV drama.
