To be fair, Three Gorges (like any large hydro) is comprised of many turbines, 32 700MW turbines in this case.
To counter, the biggest nuclear power plant, Kashiwazaki-Kariwa, has 7 generating units which are each above 1 GW. Two of those units are at ~1.3GW, nearly double a Three Gorges turbine.
For more perspective, the smallest nuke in the States is Fort Calhoun which has a single reactor at 502MW.
