In normal operation, virtually none. In a bad accident like Chernobyl, a great deal. Fortunately only one Chernobyl type disaster has ever happened.

How much energy does a nuclear reactor produce in one day?
Depends on the output of the reactor, but new PWR's are rated at about 1500 MW (megawatts), so in one day would produce 1500 x 24 Megawatthours = 36,000 MWh
How much uranium produces nuclear power?
The mass of uranium needed for a nuclear power reactor depend on the type and the power of this reactor. For a medium size reactor - 100 t.
How much electricity can a nuclear reactor produce?
Nuclear reactors vary in size the same way any engine does. On the small size, they could produce tens of kilowatts. On the large side they can produce gigawatts. Commercial nuclear reactors that provide power to electrical grids produce about half a gigawatt to about one and a half gigawatts. They do not produce power continuously, even if there are no problems. They have to be shut down periodically for refueling.
How much radiation does a nuclear reactor produce?
As far as I know, reactors come in different sizes, producing different amounts of power, so you would expect the amount radiation to vary, as well.
How much nuclear energy does Australia use?
In Australia they use no nuclear energy. They only have on reactor which is only used for medical purposes.
How much power does a nuclear plant produce?
Up to 1500MWe per reactor
How much energy can nuclear supply?
The latest PWR designs can produce 1600MW electrical from one reactor.
How fast does a nuclear fusion reactor work?
Do you mean how much power does it produce? None are working as yet.

How much uranium produces nuclear power?
The mass of uranium needed for a nuclear power reactor depend on the type and the power of this reactor. For a medium size reactor - 100 t.
How much energy does a nuclear reactor use up each year?
A large nuclear power reactor will have a thermal output of about 3000 MW. If this runs all day every day it will therefore produce 3000 x 365 MWD (Megawattdays) of energy in a year.
How much nuclear reactor did India have?
India have 20 nuclear reactors & 5 is in under development ....!!!!
How much uranium is need to power a nuclear power plant for eighteen months?
Depending on: - the type of the nuclear reactor - the electrical power of the nuclear reactor - the type of the nuclear fuel - the enrichment of uranium - the estimated burnup of the nuclear fuel etc.
Can you make a real ark reactor?
An Ark reactor as currently describe in comic is very much like a Nuclear Fuel Cell. Possibly convert energy from Nuclear reaction to power. Possibly a plasma nuclear fusion reactor. I believe in the future it could be made. See the link and compare the similarity of fusion reactor and Ark reactor.

How does one use a breeder reactor?
It would be used as a more efficient version of a Nuclear Reactor. While a regular nuclear reactor requires almost a factor of 100 greater in fuel amounts, a Breeder reactor uses much less and produces less waste.
How much uranium 235 is used in a nuclear reactor?
Depending on the type and the power of the nuclear reactor. An example; a CANDU type reactor of 700 MW need 700 kg uranium-235 and only ca. 500 kg are "burned".
