A single reactor plant including turbine hall, switchyard, etc will be about 400 meters square
A 1 MW gas-fired power plant operating at full capacity for one hour would produce 1 MWh (megawatt-hour) of electricity. This is equivalent to 1000 kWh (kilowatt-hours).
The amount of electricity a power plant produces in a year varies depending on its capacity, efficiency, and how often it operates. On average, a typical power plant could generate hundreds of megawatt-hours to gigawatt-hours of electricity annually.
The output of nuclear reactors varies but if we take 1000 MWe as typical, and there are 8760 hours in a year, this gives 1000 x 8760 MegaWatthours, or 8760 GigaWatthours, or 8.760 TeraWatthours.
The largest nuclear power plant in the world is the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant, with an electrical generating capacity of 8212 MW. There is probably no theoretical maximum, since the number of reactors is rather arbitrary. I have provided a link to the Wikipedia article below.
It is dependent on the size of the generator or turbine attached to the windmill. For example, Home Depot sells a home version that outputs 900 watts or 60 amps (in ideal conditions). The largest wind turbines can generate up to 7 megawatts!
8,000 since 8000*1000(kilo)=8,000,000 (mega)
It was 1000 megawatt electric (RBMK-1000)
1000. A megawatt-hour is the energy you'd get with a megawatt of power for 1 hour. Energy = power * time. It's important to note that it's 'megawatt hour' and not megawatt/hour (ie. it's not megawatt per hour).A gigawatt has 1000 times the power of a megawatt. Thus, since the time is the same (both 1 hour), a gigawatt-hour = 1000 megawatt hours.
Yes, you can subtract a megawatt from a gigawatt because they are both units of power but differ by a factor of 1000. One gigawatt is equivalent to 1000 megawatts, so subtracting one megawatt from a gigawatt leaves you with 999 megawatts.
1 MW = 1x10^6 W = 1,000,000 watts 1 kW = 1x10^3 W = 1000 watts 1 MW / 1 kW = 10^6/10^3 = 10^3 = 1000 kilowatts per megawatt
No, 1 megawatt is equal to 1000 kilowatts.

The output of nuclear reactors varies with design, but if we take 1000 MWe as typical, and there are 8760 hours in a year, the answer is 1000 x 8760 MegaWatthours, or 8760 GigaWatthours
Megawatt
Considering it is kw for kilowatt and not kv. 1 megawatt = 1000 kilowatt.
