That sounds like a brilliant idea. However, the tooling and staffing requirements of a Coal Plant arent going to suffice for a nuke.
How do they propose training for existing employees of a coal plant.
We think of Coal folks as "dirty stupid miners from kentucky" and we think of people that work at nuke sites as "white lab coat wearing scientists"
The only dirty stupid person from Kentucky is Mitch.

- SoftTalker 4y agoI think there is a good amount of overlap. Operating the reactor is of course specialized. But once you have the steam, the rest of the power plant is conventional. Steam turbines, generators, and all the grid tie-in would be mostly the same as a coal plant.
