Nuclear power plants should be close to rivers, oceans, or sea water to get the required cooling capacity for the steam condensate that is passing through the condenser. This condensate, after being cooled down, is recirculated back to the steam generators (in a closed circuit where is turned again into steam that passes over the steam turbines).

Yes
Why would you not build a nuclear plant in the middle of a desert?
A nuclear power plant needs a large heatsink, i.e. cooling water. There is very little cooling water in the middle of a desert. That is why nuclear power plants are generally built on the edge of oceans or lakes, or on large rivers.
