Also used for reactors. Gotta be pure so that the parts don't corrode. Fresh water is treated down to almost elemental purity, a lot of it. It is then boiled by the reaction of the decay of the fuel rods to produce steam. A nuke reactor is a steam engine!

And, even when the rods are deemed spent they must be cooled. Because they have not even come close to their half-life. Welcome to modern tech!
