Im still trying to convert magajoules to megawatts... One megajoule is one megawatt of power expended over a one second time period. Since I'm fairly sure that the firing energy is applied over a much shorter time, the peak power is probably in the range of hundreds of megawatts.

A joule is a watt of current discharged for one second:
Ergo one megajoule is one megawatt/second
