1 GW of electrical power driving a heat pumps gives you the other two GW of heat for free. So, no advantage to nukes there. Anyway nukes are generally too far away from pop centers to provide useful secondary heat. But nukes can drive heat pumps too, so no advantage either way.

Of course the sun does provide direct heat without need to process it through panels. Solar PV and nuke customers both rely on that.
