The sun is: 6300 W/cm^2
> inside of a nuclear reactor
Inside means volume? That's not the same unit, so I'm not really sure how to calculate that.
Interestingly, on a per-volume bases, the sun's output is quite low. The sun is just very very large.
See: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=Sun+%7C+luminosity+%2F+...
And you find the sun is only: 1.383×10^-6 horsepowers per gallon :) Or if you insist: 0.2725 W/m^3, which as you can see is really really low.
