@SwissPGO True, though that does depend on reactor type. There are many industrial chemical and pharmaceutical processes that require heat in the boiling water range. In the short term I am a fan of High Temperature Gas Reactors for combined power/industrial heat generation. Longer term I like the fast reactor technology using either molten metal or salt as they also operate at higher temperatures. I believe that the plans for the FLT fusion reactor is envisioning the use of molten lead? As you say distribution is an issue which is where SMRs come into their own, especially ones with sealed, removable reactor modules.

@SwissPGO 4GWh of heat could be damn useful to industry, it's time to stop thinking of nuclear as solely for electricity generation.
