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 energy does Australia use?
In Australia they use no nuclear energy. They only have on reactor which is only used for medical purposes.
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.
What is retentivity in nuclear energy?
You may mean 'reactivity'. In a nuclear reactor, this is the measure of how much above or below criticality the reactor state is, which effectively determines how fast the neutron flux increases or decreases.
How much energy can nuclear supply?
The latest PWR designs can produce 1600MW electrical from one reactor.
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 is produced by a nuclear reactor?
For a typical fission reactor, power output can range from maybe 700 to 1000 MW (megawatts) with most modern deisgns being in the high end of that range.
How much nuclear reactor did India have?
India have 20 nuclear reactors & 5 is in under development ....!!!!
Can uranium heat buildings?
indirectly, if a house gets its energy from nuclear power plant, but not in the same way as burning coal or oil- it's much to dangerous to have a little nuclear reactor in the basement.
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.
How much energy is lost during nuclear power producttion?
The efficiency of a PWR or BWR reactor power plant is about 33 percent, so this means that about 67 percent of the reactor's thermal output is rejected to the cooling water
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 energy does Sellafield nuclear power station provide?
There were 4 small magnox reactors there, it was known as Calder Hall when it was built in the mid 50's. Each reactor produced 50 MWe. They are now all shutdown permanently.
