Hi! I'm newer to the scene and was wondering if anyone could help me in modding the base rate of electrical output for a nuclear power plant. I'm not sure if this is a hardcoded value or not...
Thanks for any help!

Go to \db\misc.txt and look for the line "#_EV_Nuclear_Power_, Each reactor can give below energy". Default value is 1.5 - set it to what you want.
I would point out, though, that a level 10 nuclear power plant represents a full, early generation power station, and ~15 energy per sounds not unreasonable, to me.

Depends on the timeframe you're looking at, really. The first commercial nuclear power plant went online in 1957. The first usable nuclear energy, powering a 'whopping' four lightbulbs, was only achieved on December 20th, 1951.
Before 1948 or so the focus regarding nuclear production was nukes, nukes, nukes, nukes and nukes... And as a consequence was a significant drain of energy rather than producing energy. Which is the main reason for the sighting of the US's production plants: Oak Ridge and Savannah River plugged into the power of the Tennessee Valley Authority, and Hanford utilizing the energy generated by the Grand Coulee Dam. In fact, Oak Ridge alone consumed 7% of the total US energy production!

You use energy for enriching uranium, not for converting uranium to plutonium - which was done, and produced heat (even setting fire to the infamous "piles" in Windscale), but the heat was not used until the focus was a little off bomb-making...
