2. Download the standby calculator and fill in the blanks by following the next steps :

• A : Enter the sum of the number of devices which are in standby mode in your house.

• B : According to the result of the question 1, find the power spent at home by A.

• C : Energy/year = power*number of hour in a year (be careful, we are in KWh and not in Wh).

• D : Assuming everybody is approximately like you, calculate the power spent by devices which are in standby mode in your house.  

• E : The same for the energy calculation.

• F : Give the number of nuclear reactors, we need to supply all these standby modes.
