District heating has been used for over 200 years.  

https://www.powermag.com/district-heating-supply-from-nuclear-power-
plants/

"An extensive study was conducted in Connecticut, which focused on using 
waste heat from an existing nuclear power plant. It found substantial 
benefits from using nuclear heat, but concluded that the realization of 
maximum economic and social benefits would require current laws, 
practices, and regulations to be modified. It suggested the larger energy 
perspective would have to be considered including desegregating the 
treatment of energy, and incorporating land use planning and associated 
economic development into the process."

And there is the problem -- existing regulations and the NIMBY phenomenon. 
40 years ago I was skeptical about some of the proposed nuclear plants, 
not because of the technology but because of the over-optimistic 
projections of future demand.  That was then. 

https://www.nrc.gov/info-finder/decommissioning/power-reactor/index.html

Many of the plants are at end of life, and that doesn't count the ones 
that were decommissioned long ago like Maine Yankee or San Onofre. It 
should be possible to design a plant that lasts longer than 40 or 50 
years. That would require a prevailing attitude in the US that thinks in 
terms of 20 years. That even was used for the interstate system. Summer 
travel in this state can be painful because of the bottlenecks caused by 
bridge and pavement replacement.
