How much energy can a nuclear power plant can produce in an hour?

It depends upon the rating of the plant. A typical plant will produce around 1100 megawatts per hour.


How many megawatts can a nuclear power plant produce?

The largest nuclear power plant in the world is the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant, with an electrical generating capacity of 8212 MW. There is probably no theoretical maximum, since the number of reactors is rather arbitrary. I have provided a link to the Wikipedia article below.


How many wind turbines would it take for it to power the electricity a power plant does?

A standard power station produces something like 500 megawatts. A standard wind turbine produces about 5 megawatts.


What are the units for Nuclear Power?

The fundamental unit for all types of energy is the Joule, and this is related to power as 1 Watt = 1 Joule/sec. Output power of a nuclear reactor is measured in Watts, or for large power reactors in MegaWatts, and would typically be around 3000 MW. That is the thermal output of the reactor, when coupled to a Rankine cycle steam/generating plant this would produce about 1000 MW electrical.


How much energy can a nuclear plant produce?

Most Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs) built to date were around 1100 MWe (megawatts energy) output, but larger ones are now planned, up to 1600 MWe or more. <><><> Nuclear power plants produce various amounts of energy relative primarily to the size of the reactor. For the generation of power, there is some minimum size that the plant will be to be able to be operated at a profit, or at least at some acceptable level of cost effectiveness. That minimum will vary, too, and from perhaps a few tens of megawatts upward. Typical Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR) reactors built in the 1970's produce about 1100 MWe, whilst the latest designs range up to around 1500 MWe No matter what the maximum power of a nuclear plant may be, the actual power being generated at any time depends entirely on the amount of fuel in the reactor, how it is modulated and by what material. Rods containing nuclear material are in a core that is regulated by rods of material that can absorb neutrons emitted by the radioactive material. By controlling the fission process you can control the energy released and used to generate steam power to run a turbine to produce electric power. Rates can be in the order of a few kilowatts to megawatts depending on the size of the reactor.

What is coal fired power?

A power plant in which coal is burned to move generating turbines to produce electricity.


Do large leaves or small leaves produce more food for a plant?

Large Leaves will produce more food for the plant because it can absorb more sunlight which during photosynthesis the plant creates food


How many megawatts do tidal turbines produce in day?

A typical nuclear power plant produces 500 to 5000 megawatts of power. If we take 2000 as average, an average plant produces 2000 megawatt hours in an hour, or 48,000 megawatt hours in a day. But please note: Technically, this does not answer the question asked, because the question asked for megawatts, not megawatt hours. The question as asked is like asking how many horsepower a car can produce in a day. The measure of electrical output over a period of time is a watt hour, or, in this case, the megawatt hour. So the question answered was, "How many megawatt hours does a nuclear power plant make in a day?"
