In the US, about 19 percent of total electricity generation, in the world about 16 percent. Most LWR's built in the past produce around 1100 MWe per unit, future build may be up to 1500 MWe per unit.
1.7% of Pakistan electricity is produced by nuclear power stations
It's about 20 percent of total electricity generated
In the US, nuclear power provides about 20% of the total electricity generation, making it the largest source of low-carbon electricity. There are 93 commercial nuclear reactors operating in 28 states.
Nuclear power provides about 10% of the world's electricity. In countries like France and the United States, nuclear power plays a significant role in the energy mix and provides a substantial portion of their electricity needs.
Nuclear power plants, on average, can generate around 1,000 megawatts of electricity, which is enough to power a city of about 800,000 to 1 million people. The total electricity output of a nuclear power plant will vary depending on factors like the plant's size, design, and operational efficiency.

Typically the nuclear energy is converted to electricity and the electricity powers the device. No much differently than the chemical energy in fossil fuels is often converted to electricity and the electricity powers the device.
Nuclear power plants, on average, can generate around 1,000 megawatts of electricity, which is enough to power a city of about 800,000 to 1 million people. The total electricity output of a nuclear power plant will vary depending on factors like the plant's size, design, and operational efficiency.
Around 10% of the world's energy is generated from nuclear power.
In 2020, nuclear power plants worldwide produced about 2650 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, accounting for approximately 10% of global electricity generation.
About 70% of France's electricity is generated from nuclear power, making it one of the largest users of nuclear energy in the world. France has 56 nuclear reactors in operation across 19 nuclear power plants.
Nuclear power accounts for 6.3% of world's total primary energy supply or 16% of world's total electricity production.
