Lots of energy to power cities for YEARS
It is now 2009 so this question is out of date
Nuclear power plants in the US produce approximately 2,000-2,300 metric tons of radioactive waste each year. This waste is mainly in the form of used nuclear fuel, which is stored on-site at the plants until a long-term disposal solution is established.
The annual operating cost of a nuclear power plant can vary but typically ranges from $30 million to $60 million per year. This cost includes expenses for maintenance, fuel, staffing, security, and regulatory compliance.
There are currently (year 2013) 31 countries having nuclear power reactors. The rest are not having nuclear power.
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 year 2000 was nine years ago - what year did you mean?
India presently has 4.78 GWe of nuclear power capacity. Another 10 GWe or so are in the planning stages for the middle to late part of this decade.
