The nuke survived. It later on stolen by the male who than gave it to the female. Then she used it to build the nest around it.
The Janjira nuclear plant was exhausted, yes.
But I think it would seem more logic the female would look for another nuclear plant as a nesting ground.

The train (night sequence) was to deliver the nuke to a location where all 3 monsters were converging. The Female MUTO attacked the train and ate a bomb, because her eggs were glowing and were ready to be removed from her body (like in fishes), and she needed radiation replenishment. Unfortunately, the bomb wasn't enough, as we find out later. (the sheer number of eggs needed much more)
The nuke survived the train accident, and was airlifted back to a boat in the next morning.
The Male MUTO then picks up the same nuke from the boat (during the composite attack) and "gifts" it to the Female MUTO during their first meeting. Until then, the egg-sac of the Female MUTO is glowing faintly, but as soon as she takes the nuke near it, it glows brighter.
The same nuke is seen hanging below the huge eggs nest in the center, powering the eggs all around the soldiers, which is then removed by them and taken to the ship for the final climax.
The Female MUTO had chosen to meet the Male MUTO first due to the mating call - in San Francisco Bay. It was because she came from the second egg which had been transported to the Nuclear Waste Repository, inside the Yucca Mountains. She was walking all the way (through Vegas), while Male MUTO flew all the way from Janjira to the same destination.
Maybe after they had met and the eggs were safe, she would have looked for the nearest nuclear plant. Till then she were feeding on bombs and nukes, which was sustaining her.
