you can only sensibly boil fresh water for steam to drive the turbines or very soon you need to chip salt out of the boilers. But you can cool condensors and cooling ponds and similar non boiling things with, it and at places like Bradwell this is certainly already done.
2 million litres a day sounds a lot, at 2000 cubic metres but at about a tonne and a half a minute (1 cubic meter ~ 1tonne) compares to a single fire hydrant, of the sort the water companies have lots of on their networks. A large demand, but not an impossible one.
