The Pickering Nuclear power plant has a power rating of 2100 MW. How much energy can the
generating station produce in one day?
To calculate the energy produced by the Pickering Nuclear power plant in one day, we need to multiply its power rating by the number of hours in a day.
The power rating is given as 2100 MW, which stands for 2100 megawatts.
One day has 24 hours.
Therefore, the energy produced in one day is:
2100 MW * 24 hours/day
Calculating this expression:
(2100 MW) * (24 hours/day) = 50,400 MWh (megawatt-hours)
Therefore, the Pickering Nuclear power plant can produce 50,400 megawatt-hours of energy in one day.
