A nuclear power plant is a coal power plant except.

It has incredibly strict requirements for safety, we are talking SOP & Risk assesment for climbing up a 3ft ladder

There is a requirement for literally thousands of pounds of concrete to shield the reactor

The employees have to be highly qualified and trained.

The construction materials have to be validated, tested certified and then tested again during install to ensure conformance.

You must deal with spent fuel

They are not the same and cannot be retrofitted eitherways
