How many kilowatts per month does a nuclear power plant produce?

The correct term is kilowatt-hour, or some multiple of that. One plant that I worked at could net 800 megawatts, so that would be about 576 gigawatt-hours, in a 30 day month. Some plants are larger. I know of some 1,200 megawatt plants, and that would be scaled accordingly, as 864 gigawatt-hours, both assuming continuous operation at full power.
Scaled to the units requested in the original question, that 800 megawatt plant would be 800,000 kilowatt-months, and the 1,200 megawatt plant would be 1,200,000 kilowatt-months.

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.
What type of energy does a nuclear power plant produce?
A nuclear power plant produces electrical (electromagnetic) energy, or what most call electricity or electric power.
Does nuclear energy produce a lot of waste?
Yes; the average nuclear power plant yields about 3 tons of radioactive waste each year.
How much electricity does nuclear power plants produce?
Nuclear energy/electricity varies, but in 2007, USA generated an average of 12.4 billion kilowatt-hours per-nuclear plant.
Why does a nuclear power plant not produce air pollutants?
There is no burning process going on like in fossil fuelled plants
What is the difference between nuclear power plant and nuclear reactor?
It's really just a matter of degree, all reactors produce some power. Those used in a power plant will produce perhaps 3000 to 5000 Megawatts thermal. Low power reactors producing a few kilowatts are used for experiments, teaching in universities, and for producing radioisotopes by irradiating samples, but reactors in this sort of power level would not be harnessed to produce electricity, the heat produced if large enough would be removed and rejected to the atmosphere or to a water cooling circuit. This makes them simple to operate and to start and stop as required.
Does a nuclear plant produce more than a coal plant?
Not necessarily
What are the uses of a nuclear power plant?
To produce electricity
Why was the nuclear plant built?
So they can produce electricity for the state
Is a nuclear power plant same as nuclear power station?
Yes, it generally is but a nuclear plant could refer to nuclear reactors which are basically the things that produce the power. So in essence, yes, a nuclear plant is the same thing as a nuclear power station
What useful type of energy does a nuclear power plant produce?
Electricity.
How does nuclear power plants produce electricity?
Using nuclear fission, generators are turned.
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.
Does a nuclear power plant produces electricity?
Yes, nuclear power plants produce electric power (electricity).
What is the oak ridge nuclear plant?
It is the facility built to produce nuclear material for the US Atomic weapons program.
What is a nuclear powerstation?
A nuclear power plant is a thermal power station. The heat source is nuclear reactor. Its main point is to produce electricity.
What type of energy does a nuclear power plant produce?
A nuclear power plant produces electrical (electromagnetic) energy, or what most call electricity or electric power.
