The latest design PWR's produce about 1500 MWe per unit.
A nuclear power plant is a thermal power station. The heat source is nuclear reactor. Its main point is to produce electricity.
No, nuclear power stations do not produce carbon dioxide (CO2) during the electricity generation process. Nuclear power generates electricity by splitting atoms in a process called nuclear fission, which does not involve the combustion of fossil fuels that produce CO2 emissions.

Yes, nuclear power plants produce electric power (electricity).
To produce electricity
Nuclear Power is used in power stations to produce electricity
A coal-fired power station uses chemical energy from burning coal to generate electricity. A nuclear power station uses nuclear reactions to generate electricity.
The fissioning of uranium and plutonium nuclei releases energy as heat, which is then used to produce steam to drive conventional turbine/generators.
An atomic power station, also known as a nuclear power plant, is a facility that generates electricity using nuclear reactions. These reactions typically involve splitting atoms (nuclear fission) to release energy, which is used to heat water and produce steam that drives turbines to generate electricity. Nuclear power stations are a low-carbon alternative to fossil fuel power plants.
