The power that the customers receive is 163.2 MW

Explanation:

The efficiency of a system is given by

$\eta = \frac{P_{out}}{P_{in}}$

where

$P_{out}$ is the power in output

$P_{in}$ is the power in input

For the nuclear reactors in this problem, we have:

$P_{in} = 3200 MW$ (power generated by the reactors)

$\eta=0.051$ (efficiency is 5.1%)

Therefore, the power that reaches the customers is:

$P_{out} = \eta P_{in} = (0.051)(3200)=163.2 MW$
