One MW (megawatt) is 1 million watts.
One watt is 1 joule / second.
If the plant efficiency is 34%, it means that 34% of the energy is converted into electricity, while (100-34)=66% is dissipated as heat.
So calculate the power converted to heat, and use the conversions above to find the heat dissipated in joules per second.
