The ones I have seen photos of don't, I think they are all located near the sea so use seawater. I suppose with the now realised danger of tsunami as well as earthquakes, this policy might change. My understanding now of the Fukushima failure is that the damage to the emergency cooling occurred due to the tsunami, not the earthquake itself.
