How many megawatts do tidal turbines produce in day?

A typical nuclear power plant produces 500 to 5000 megawatts of power. If we take 2000 as average, an average plant produces 2000 megawatt hours in an hour, or 48,000 megawatt hours in a day. But please note: Technically, this does not answer the question asked, because the question asked for megawatts, not megawatt hours. The question as asked is like asking how many horsepower a car can produce in a day. The measure of electrical output over a period of time is a watt hour, or, in this case, the megawatt hour. So the question answered was, "How many megawatt hours does a nuclear power plant make in a day?"
