Even then I don’t imagine it would be easy. Anything in a nuclear plant needs to be built to an extremely exacting standard that I’m pretty sure old coal powerplant components wouldn’t be. I can’t see how you could convert a coal plant into a nuclear plant without having to completely rebuild everything.
What about the conversion of coal fired power plants to nuclear ones? I’ve seen that proposed quite a bit.
Wouldn’t only the turbines and cooling tower be reusable? I thought the hard part was the reactor itself.

From the little I know it’s a pipe dream. Just completely different scales.
