electrical - about 1000Mwatt, physical - varies with design, can't give exact figure.

The reactor itself, in a typical 1 GW plant, is smaller than you might think: about the size of a large bathroom or small bedroom. The containment vessel is comparatively huge, and largely empty.

How much uranium does it take to power a city?

The amount of uranium needed to power a city depends on the size of the city and the efficiency of the nuclear power plant. On average, a city of 1 million people would require about 27 metric tons of uranium per year to power its nuclear plant.


What is the average output MW of a nuclear power plant?

As of 2007, worldwide there were 439 operational nuclear reactors with total capacity of 372,002 MW; making the average output 846 MW. However, the average new reactor can be expected to be larger. The reactors so far built in the US range up to about 1100 MWe electrical output, but new ones up to about 1500 MWe are planned
