Water itself can not become "radioactive" in the common sense. As a simple molecule water is just going to be water.

What happens in the cooling pools is water gains a neutron to form "heavy water" that settles to the bottom, and then may pick up a third neutron to become tritiated water.

Radioactive contaminants can be in water, though, such as whatever would be in lake water, from algae and bacteria to minerals and residues and oils.

As such, cooling pools must be kept very clean to make sure the only substance in the water is just pure, non-radiation-releasing water.

Also, given all of that, simple, old fashioned distillation can make radiation affected water completely safe to drink, as the non-radioactive water separates from contaminated impurities and any potential heavy water.

Anyways, if you survive the big one, remember that handy science tip.

So if you distill radioactive water, is the radioactive part released as vapor, or what happens there?

Sagebrush

The radioactive bits in water would most likely be sediments or dissolved salts, so they would be left behind in the boiling vessel.

Wouldn't any distilling equipment you'd be using for radioactive water be pretty radioactive itself?

"Distilling equipment" is a glass flask with a pipe coming out the top and a heat source. Glass is primarily silicon dioxide (with, depending on the type of glass, small quantities of other minerals). If you distill water that contains neutron emitters, it is possible that you could get neutron activation of the silicon and oxygen in the glass and the glass itself would become mildly radioactive. Beyond that, no, the equipment will be fine as long as you wash it out.

Typically the water discharged from nuclear reactors is filtered through filters and resin columns, removing radioactive solids and dissolved salts, these filters and columns eventually become quite radioactive, and disposed of with other radioactive wastes.

The water left over contains small amounts of tritium, which really isn't that radioactive, and is a beta emitter, so it doesn't produce a significant radiation field, and while you shouldn't it, former coolant with a bit left in it won't hurt you in the short term, it's best re-used for reuse as reactor coolant, but you can keep it in a tank until 3 half lives have passed (36ish years) and just discharge it to the environment.

Although spent fuel in a pool shouldn't produce much tritium in the water, since very few of the radioactive byproducts are neutron emitters, and you only have an insignificant amount of spontaneous/uncontrolled fissions occurring in the shut-down core.
