enough to severely damage an entire city and take millions of lives
The power output of a nuclear power plant can vary, but on average, a typical nuclear power plant can produce around 1,000 megawatts of electricity. This is enough to power roughly 1 million homes.
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.
Other names for nuclear energy include atomic energy, nuclear power, and atomic power.
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.
The average house in the United States consumes about 10,972 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year. Nuclear power plants provide about 20% of the electricity generated in the U.S., so on average, a house would consume approximately 2,194 kilowatt-hours of nuclear energy in a year.
The average efficiency of a nuclear power station is about 33%, measured as the ratio of power electric over power thermal.
The power output of a nuclear power plant can vary, but on average, a typical nuclear power plant can produce around 1,000 megawatts of electricity. This is enough to power roughly 1 million homes.
* Earthquake Richter 5.0 = 32 kilotons nuclear weapon, like was used at Nagasaki * Earthquake Richter 6.0 = 1 megaton nuclear weapon * Earthquake Richter 7.0 = 32 megaton nuclear weapon * Earthquake Richter 7.1 = 50 megaton nuclear weapon, Tsar Bomba, the largest nuclear weapon ever tested * Earthquake Richter 8.0 = 1 gigaton nuclear weapon, much larger than anything ever made
20% of the worlds power is generated by nuclear power
Basically, a conventional bomb uses a chemical explosive as the source of its destructive power. A nuclear weapon uses nuclear material to create an explosion. A nuclear explosion is much larger, and also emits ionizing radiation. A chemical weapon does not emit any radiation. A nuclear weapon's yield is measured in Kilotons (thousand tons). In very simplified terms, this means that a nuclear weapon with a 475 kiloton yield produces an explosion comparable to 475,000 tons of TNT (TNT is a chemical explosive). That's A LOT of TNT and it would take up a bit of space. A nuclear weapon with this yield may only be a few feet long and a foot wide, and the actual nuclear material may be the size of a grapefruit.

a lot
Depending on: - the type of the nuclear reactor - the electrical power of the nuclear reactor - the type of the nuclear fuel - the enrichment of uranium - the estimated burnup of the nuclear fuel etc.
We have the ability to destroy the world with one nuclear weapon. An entire nuclear war could destroy the entire solar system if we had the opportunity to.
Indiana has no nuclear power plants.
if you are asking about generally around the world i dont know but to build one single power plant it is approx. $10 billion dollars.
it takes more than 2min.
