the amount of uranium depends on the size of the reactor

I don't have a quantified estimate, but I have seen the rods in an operating power plant, and it didn't look like their could be more than a couple of thousand pounds of fuel rod, which is only partly uranium

wattage output:

Nuclear power plants are base load stations, which work best when the power output is constant (although boiling water reactors can come down to half power at night). Their units range in power from about 40 MWe to over 1000 MWe. New units under construction in 2005 are typically in the range 600-1200 MWe.

Your question is ambigous, John. There are many types of nuclear powered reactor throughout the world.
