A typical modern nuclear power plant produces between 1 and 1.6 GW of electricity per reactor per hour

How do all these articles keep making this same mistake? Can we not get someone who passed high school physics to write these?

Since the article does not do a reasonable comparison to explain what these numbers actually mean, the estimated average 18 Wh query is very roughly the equivalent of having a TV on for 10 minutes.
