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.

How many homes can one nuclear power plant power?
Depending on the amount of fuel used at once, well over a hundred.
When will a nuclear power plant run out?
The typical usable life of a nuclear power plant is approximately 40 - 50 years to be economical to build and run. That does not mean that the fuel runs out but other things may become unusable.
Heart of a nuclear power station?
The heart of a nuclear power plant is the nuclear reactor.
When was Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant created?
Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant was created in 1967.
What are the problems of using nuclear fuels and renewable energy sources to make electricity?
Nuclear power in North America is safe, but storage of spent fuels has and always will be the problem. Nuclear power is also the most efficient. typically nuclear power plants cover 100's of acres, but power several hundred thousand homes. Per acre, nuclear = 1000 homes, gas/coal= 200 homes, wind = 20 homes and solar = 50 homes.
How does a nuclear power plant power homes?
