Those numbers look right, thanks. Looks like about 3x the radiogenic heat from the major nuclides producing heat today (not taking into account nuclides that may have decayed away... but I don't think there were any substantial ones). There's also the possibility of fission chain reactions, as U235 enrichment was very high, but I doubt these came near the PW range. Atmospheric CO2 looks like the primary factor.
