In normal operation, virtually none. In a bad accident like Chernobyl, a great deal. Fortunately only one Chernobyl type disaster has ever happened.
Nuclear reactors vary in size the same way any engine does. On the small size, they could produce tens of kilowatts. On the large side they can produce gigawatts. Commercial nuclear reactors that provide power to electrical grids produce about half a gigawatt to about one and a half gigawatts. They do not produce power continuously, even if there are no problems. They have to be shut down periodically for refueling.
It is estimated that 1 kilogram of U235 can produce approximately 24,000 MWh of electricity in a nuclear reactor. This amount can vary depending on the efficiency of the reactor and the specific conditions of operation.
The energy output of a nuclear reactor can vary greatly depending on its size and design. However, on average, a nuclear reactor can generate around 1-2 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity in one day.
A typical nuclear power plant requires approximately 27 metric tons of uranium fuel per year to produce electricity. This amount can vary depending on the specific reactor design and fuel cycle used. The energy produced from uranium in a nuclear reactor is much more concentrated than energy from other traditional sources like coal or natural gas.
The amount of coolant used in a nuclear power reactor can vary depending on the design of the reactor. Generally, a nuclear power reactor may use thousands to millions of gallons of water or a different coolant material to remove heat generated during the nuclear fission process. The coolant circulates through the reactor core to transfer heat and help regulate the temperature of the reactor.
Up to 1500MWe per reactor
The latest PWR designs can produce 1600MW electrical from one reactor.

A large nuclear power reactor will have a thermal output of about 3000 MW. If this runs all day every day it will therefore produce 3000 x 365 MWD (Megawattdays) of energy in a year.
India have 20 nuclear reactors & 5 is in under development ....!!!!
An Ark reactor as currently describe in comic is very much like a Nuclear Fuel Cell. Possibly convert energy from Nuclear reaction to power. Possibly a plasma nuclear fusion reactor. I believe in the future it could be made. See the link and compare the similarity of fusion reactor and Ark reactor.

Nuclear meltdown occurs when fuel rods in a nuclear reactor produce too much heat, causing them to melt. This can lead to the release of radioactive materials and poses a significant risk to both the environment and human health. Cooling systems failure is a common cause of nuclear meltdowns.
It would be used as a more efficient version of a Nuclear Reactor. While a regular nuclear reactor requires almost a factor of 100 greater in fuel amounts, a Breeder reactor uses much less and produces less waste.
