The nice thing is that number of plants is not as relevant as annual generation. Coal plants tend to be both "small (300 to 600 MW) and have low capacity factor (50% - 70%).
Will nuclear replace all coal plants? Nope. I have never and will never make that claim.
Can nuclear replace a significant portion of them? I believe it can and should.
There is plenty of dirty power to go around. Low carbon power vs. high carbon power that is the battle.
