Sea water is basically the end of the party for free neutrons. It just makes the reactor a big lump of modern art that glows in the dark on the inside afterwards.
I imagine someone did a cost/benefit analysis of it and decided it would be cheaper to build a new plant than even risk the possibility of the reactor vessel being slagged.
