This question is about nuclear power station calculations.

a.

Write down the equation which links energy (EEE), power (PPP), and time (ttt).

[1]
b.

A nuclear power station has a continuous power output of 650 MW650\text{ MW}650 MW. Calculate the energy output of this power station if it operates continuously for 4500 s. Give your answer in Joules (J\text{J}J) in standard form.

c.

Nuclear power stations do not generate electricity every day of the year due to scheduled maintenance. A specific nuclear power station operated for 88% of a year (where 1 year=365 days1\text{ year} = 365\text{ days}1 year=365 days). Calculate the number of days during that year that the power station generated electricity.
