A typical PWR reactor has an electrical output of 1100 MWe, so in one day this would produce 1100 MWD or 26,400 MWhours or 26,400,000 KWh
The energy source for a nuclear power plant is the fissioning of nuclear fuel, which is normally uranium.
There are different types of "power plant". Some run on nuclear energy, others don't.
A nuclear power plant produces electrical (electromagnetic) energy, or what most call electricity or electric power.
Electrical energy
Nuclear power is very good source of energy to turn to. The only problem is the storage of nuclear waste, that is left over after the nuclear reaction the power plant. The energy obtained from the nuclear power plant is very clean burning and more KJ/mole energy.

It depends on if its a nuclear power plant or not.

Nuclear energy is converted to electrical energy in a nuclear power plant.
Electric. The nuclear energy produces heat, heat boils water, steam drives turbine, turbine makes electircity.
Electrical energy
A commercial nuclear power plant
Steam from the heat of the reactor.

Heat from the nuclear reaction changes water to steam.
