Unfortunately, the State Department is probably not all that
knowledgeable on nuclear power.  I think the Secretary was mis-informed.

I've been wondering about the idea of flying in "coolant" on a plane.
There are other sources of water that involve a lot closer that would do

Fukushima I and II (12 reactors) are Boiling Water Reactors that use
light water as coolant.  Light water weighs a tonne per cubic meter.
The details of Hillary's statement will be interesting.
