The potential to use nuclear power for heating is virtually unknown to the public and politicians. Heat from a purpose built nuclear heating plant can cost $0.01/kWh.
Heat from the steam condenser of a nuclear power plant is a nearly free waste product
Converting heat to electricity to heat adds costs.
Generating electricity together with operating buildings is responsible for half of global energy demand and CO2 emissions.
Read the appealing explanation in this chapter of Building heating.
Most nuclear power plants make use of nearly all of their heat and typically do not have a lot of higher temp heat left over.
HOWEVER, what would it take to use the 'spent fuel' as a district heater?
Embed in concrete under a police building, and then simply have steam pipes run through it.
If done up right, this would help use up some of the leftover energy.
