Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A typical nuclear reactor has a peak power output of about 1,500 megawatts. Coal-fired power plants and hydroelectric dams can have varying peak power outputs depending on their size and design. Fusion reactors, while potentially having much higher power outputs, are still in the experimental stage and have not yet been proven to reach commercial-scale power generation.
