Yes, regular water is preferable to sea water as using sea water seals the fate of nuclear reactors as far as future use. A lack of sufficient quantities of clear water available on hand has given them no choice but to use sea water however. Or so was said on CNN, by Japanese Ambassador to US. He confirmed use of sea water in cooling attempts of reactors #1, #3 at Daiichi (sp?). Japanese Ambassador also confirmed "damage" to core at reactor #1 but denied could be classified as "meltdown" at this stage.
