Never load a cargo tank totally full. Liquids expand as they warm and you must leave room for the expanding liquid.

Is power in power outage an adverb?
No, power in power outage is a noun used as an adjective. Cf. student unrest.
How do you calculate expected power that can be generated given power plant capacity?
If the power plant capacity is stated, as so many megawatts, then that ought to be the maximum expected power. Sometimes for maintenance reasons some plant items might be out of service, so this might cause a temporary reduction in possible power, but this can only be determined at the time and for that particular plant. A nuclear reactor sometimes runs down somewhat as the time for the next refuelling outage approaches, this is due to the reduction in the fissile material in the fuel as it is used up.
How much graphite is used in a nuclear power plant per year?
United States nuclear power plants do not use graphite for operation and thus the answer is "none". Graphite is used in some reactor designs as a "moderator", which is the reactor feature that slows down neutrons so that the chain reaction will continue. US nuclear plants are "light water reactors" which means that they use regular water as the moderator. Canadian plants, for example, are "heavy water" plants which use duterium as a moderator. Chernobyl, the Ukranian plant that exploded in the 1980's, used graphite as a moderator.
Who is affected from a blizzard?
It would depend where the blizzard hit. In a rural area, probably some animal and plant life loss, as well as snow pile ups. On a city, human life and material loss. The people that are lost often die from hypothermia or many other ailments as well as animals for many of the same reasons. Both of those depending on the intensity of the blizzard. The primary dangers are from severely reduced to zero visibility due to blowing snow, a state called "whiteout", accompanied by drifting. If one is caught out in a car in a blizzard, the hazards are grave. A second problem is that the high winds combined with cold temperatures result in dangerous wind-chill factors. For example, at an outside temperature of 0°F combined with a 40-MPH wind has the chilling effect of still air at -53°F. A third issue is that blizzards can damage power lines directly, or break tree limbs that fall on the lines. Loss of power in many homes during a blizzard can quickly reduce the inside temperature to dangerously low levels, freeze water pipes, etc. The weight of snow can cause roofs to collapse, too.
What are the two types of nuclear power?
The two designs built commercially in the US are the Pressurised Water Reactor (PWR) and the Boiling Water Reactor (BWR). Both these use ordinary water as moderator and coolant. In Canada the Heavy Water Moderated design (Candu) has been built in numbers. In France a large number of PWR's has been built. In the UK, the gas cooled design was the main build for many years. These use a graphite moderator and CO2 coolant. The first series used natural uranium with a magnesium alloy fuel cladding, but the temperature level permitted with this type of fuel was fairly low. The Advanced Gas Cooled reactor used enriched UO2 fuel with stainless steel cladding which allowed higher gas temperature. These were fairly successful, but expensive to build. Any future reactors in the UK will be PWR or BWR. It is possible to build a reactor which uses fuel in the form of large pebbles, with helium coolant, driving a gas turbine directly, without a steam circuit. Time may tell whether this is really a practical commercial design. Another possible design is a reactor that uses fast neutrons. A power producing prototype was built in Scotland at Dounreay, but ultimately it was found that material problems made it too difficult to bring into commercial use.
