The fundamental unit for all types of energy is the Joule, and this is related to power as 1 Watt = 1 Joule/sec. Output power of a nuclear reactor is measured in Watts, or for large power reactors in MegaWatts, and would typically be around 3000 MW. That is the thermal output of the reactor, when coupled to a Rankine cycle steam/generating plant this would produce about 1000 MW electrical.

How many coal power plants are worth one nuclear power plant?
The present nuclear units in the US go up to 1100 MWe, larger ones are planned, up to 1600MWe. So coal plants are somewhat similar, but on one site you could have several units so making a larger total. Most nuclear sites have two units.
Are there nuclear power plants in North Carolina?
Yes, there are 3 nuclear power plants, comprising 5 units, in North Carolina...Brunswick - Two BWR'sMcGuire - Two PWR'sShearon Harris - One PWR
