His answer was that, at the moment, all the nuclear plants in Ontario
produce high volumes of steam at relatively low pressures and they run
turbines at a 1200 RPM (no explanation as to why to either), whereas
coal-fired plants produce steam at high pressure and rotate at 3600 RPM.
So there is no compatibility.

Of course he'll say it's not feasible - he works for the coal plant! ;-)
