Best Answer

MWe stands for Mega Watt Electric. It is the rating of the generator output to the power grid.

Contrast this with MWt, which is Mega Watt Thermal, the rating of the actual reactor core. The ratio of MWe over MWt is overall plant efficiency, and is typically around 33%.

How much electricity does nuclear power make?

In the US, about 19 percent of total electricity generation, in the world about 16 percent. Most LWR's built in the past produce around 1100 MWe per unit, future build may be up to 1500 MWe per unit.


What is the average output MW of a nuclear power plant?

As of 2007, worldwide there were 439 operational nuclear reactors with total capacity of 372,002 MW; making the average output 846 MW. However, the average new reactor can be expected to be larger. The reactors so far built in the US range up to about 1100 MWe electrical output, but new ones up to about 1500 MWe are planned


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 long did it take France to start-up last nuclear power plant?

See the Wikipedia article 'Nuclear power in France'. The two sites most recently finished and in power operation are Chooz on the Belgian border, and Civaux in western France. These are 1450 MWE N4 types. From the rather sparse figures given, the build time seems to be about 12 years The station being built now is Flamanville in Normandy, this is the so-called EPR or European Pressurised Reactor, 1600 MWe per unit.

What is the difference between MW th and MW e?

MWe and MWt are units for measuring the output of a power plant. MWe means megawatts of electrical output, and MWt means megawatts of thermal output. For example, a nuclear power plant might use a fission reactor to generate heat (thermal output) which creates steam to drive a turbine to generate electricity (electrical output). A reactor that generates 200 MWt (50 MWe), and another reactor that generates 800 MWt (200 MWe).
