The water is closed loop right? Can’t you pump or even deliver the water by truck?

(Sorry if this is really ignorant)

I'm not a Nuclear Power physicist, but you can Google up images of a whole lot of them.

There's at least one common feature that you see in all of them - the giant cooling towers, often pictured emitting large white fluffy steam clouds while they're operating.

They're also all on massive permanent rivers, lakes or the ocean.

Pumping/Delivering water for that purpose is basically not feasible.
