The nearest electronics store will have a large number of DVDs, portable DVD players, and batteries. And I'd probably hook up a generator at some point, anyway.

They have casualty scenarios that involve
all of the operators being killed and access to the control areas being precluded by steam or radiation. Fission product release to the environment is near-zero probability. Catastropic core damage requires some fairly unusual assumptions about power history and material condition. Decay heat will damage the electrical windings in the motors of the coolant pumps and rod drive systems.

I'd recommend getting your water from somewhere else. Like bottled water from the nearest convenience store.
