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.
