Any chance the water in these thanks is being recirculated through the area it is providing cooling to?

The blogger at the link site described the water:

Anon at 12:05PM, this water is waste water. Cooling cycle: water injected into reactors to cool corium—>water gets contaminated—>contaminated water goes from the basements of reactor buildings to the basements of turbine buildings through ducts/cracks (no one knows exactly what)—>contaminated water is pumped from the turbine building basements to the buildings dedicated to store the contaminated water —>contaminated water goes to SARRY (cesium absorption)—>contaminated water without much cesium but lots of chloride and alpha and beta nuclides goes to RO Apparatus for desalination, some nuclides get removed in the process —>the treated water goes to the reactors to cool corium, the waste water after RO, which has a lot of chloride and beta nuclides, goes to these tanks.
