In regards to nuclear power plants, the first and second loops are recycled constantly but the third loop can either be recycled or open loop. That's why most nuclear power plants are built next to large bodies of water. They use the water from a lake, ocean, or whatever to do the last cooling step. It's possible but it's not as cheap as throwing away the warm water once you're done with it with cheap cold water.
