A typical nuclear power plant with a capacity of 1100 MWe, such as the McGuire 1 plant in North Carolina, generates around 10 billion kWh of electricity each year. (1)
A typical US household consumes around 11,200 kWh each year, according to the EIA (2)
So, based on these figures, a nuclear power plant supplies enough electricity to supply 893,000 homes.
The power output of a nuclear power plant can vary, but on average, a typical nuclear power plant produces around 1,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity. This can vary depending on the size and design of the plant.
It varies depending on the capacity of each power plant, but generally speaking, one nuclear power plant can replace multiple coal-fired power plants due to the higher energy output of nuclear energy.
In the US there are many states that have no nuclear plants, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and so on. (I am talking about nuclear power plants, not research facilities). See the NRC website www.nrc.gov for maps and details.
It depends on the specific capacity of the wind turbines and the nuclear power plant in question. On average, it takes about 250-300 wind turbines with a capacity of 2-3 MW each to replace the output of a typical 1 GW nuclear power plant.
About 450 reactors. You can get a world survey from www.world-nuclear.org

The power output of a nuclear power plant can vary, but on average, a typical nuclear power plant produces around 1,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity. This can vary depending on the size and design of the plant.
One of the advantage of the Bataan nuclear power plant is that it only occupies a small piece of land. The Bataan nuclear power plant has also offered employment opportunities for many of the locals around.
The number of jobs that a nuclear power plant provides on the size of the plant. It also depends on whether they enrich their own uranium or not.

Canada's first Nuclear Power Plant was the NPD Power Plant built in Rolphton Ontario, and began operation in 1962. It was the first of the CANDU power plant design which is now used around the world.

None. The Connecticut Yankee nuclear power plant decommissioning was completed in 2007.
Iran's first nuclear power plant, Bushehr I, is expected to be operational in 2009. There are no current plans to complete the Bushehr II reactor, although the construction of 19 nuclear power plants is envisaged. Iran has announced that it is working on a new 360 MWe nuclear power plant to be located in Darkhoyen.
