What are Megawatt-hour and Megaton

A Megawatt-hour (MWh) is a unit of energy equivalent to one megawatt (1 MW) of power expended for one hour (1 h) of time. It is a standardized measure used by power plants and electric utilities. The MWh is commonly used in the electrical industry to measure the amount of electricity produced or consumed over time.

A Megaton is a unit of energy typically used to describe the explosive power of nuclear weapons. It is equivalent to the energy released by one million tons (1,000,000 tons) of TNT. This unit is not part of the International System of Units (SI) but is still used for its historical significance and impact in global security and defense discussions.
