Every US coal plant screened for new nuclear, ranked by SMR match

407 former and retiring coal plants in the EIA's records, each screened by Voltane for microreactors, SMRs and large reactors. Coal sites may offer a grid connection, water and industrial land to reuse (the DOE's coal-to-nuclear case); the match says how each one screens on transmission, population, seismic hazard, faults, flood, water and nearby load. Read the coal-to-nuclear map for the national picture.
