    I thought this was going to be about how many turkeys you could cook directly using the reactor heat

    my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

      Be about 3x that number. Reactors are about 33-40% efficient. So a 1000 MW electric plant is running at 3000 MW thermal. Would be relatively easy too. Just a gigantic steam heated oven. So 7.5 million turkeys, enough to feed 90 million people or about a quarter of the US.

        I doubt an oven needs 2400W continuous to keep at temperature. Also a single large oven will be far more efficient than 7.5 million separate ovens.

      Glad to know I’m not the only one!
