3500 MWThermal?

Reactors are licensed based on the amount of thermal energy the reactor can make.

From World Nuclear Association:

BTW. What did you do with Bechtel and how long ago did you leave the industry?

Quote:
The power rating of a nuclear power reactor

Nuclear power plant reactor power outputs are quoted in three ways:

Thermal MWt, which depends on the design of the actual nuclear reactor itself, and relates to the quantity and quality of the steam it produces.

Gross electrical MWe indicates the power produced by the attached steam turbine and generator, and also takes into account the ambient temperature for the condenser circuit (cooler means more electric power, warmer means less). Rated gross power assumes certain conditions with both.

Net electrical MWe, which is the power available to be sent out from the plant to the grid, after deducting the electrical power needed to run the reactor (cooling and feed-water pumps, etc.) and the rest of the plant.*

You're a Mechnical Engineer? I didn't know that.

After the lay-off, why didn't you go back somewhere else? Plants are constantly hiring.

I would guess somewhere around 3200 MWT.

Our plant is about 35% efficient..... 2536MWT and we put out just over 880 MWE
