The St. Clair Power Plant, located in Michigan, has a generating capacity of approximately 1,400 megawatts. This capacity can power around 1 million homes, depending on energy consumption patterns and demand. The actual number of houses powered can vary based on factors like the efficiency of the power distribution system and the specific energy needs of the homes in the area.
The number of houses a 46 MW power plant can supply depends on several factors, including average energy consumption per household and the efficiency of the power plant. In the U.S., an average household consumes about 877 kWh per month, which translates to approximately 10.5 MWh per year. Based on these figures, a 46 MW power plant could potentially power around 4,000 to 5,000 homes, assuming continuous operation and optimal conditions.

How many people are needed to work at a coal power plant depends on the size and age of the plant, among other things.
The Perry plant is a single reactor of approx 1200 MWe output, see link below. What is the average consumption per house? If we said 2Kw, then 1200 MW which is 1,200,000 Kw will supply 600,000 houses, but it's a case of how much you assume for each house on average.

Supply companies allow 3-4 kilowatts per house for a group of houses so that the different loads average out. On that basis 1.5 GW could be used to power around 400,000 houses.

That depends on the power rating of the reactor.
