approx. 3.64 million U.S. children are vaccinated with a first dose of MMR every year which results in about 5,700 seizure, that's a rate of 0.0016 percent. OK, so lets say the following
5700/3640000=0.0016, percentage wise that is 100x0.0016=0.16 percent. That means that out of 10000 children 16 suffer seizures. That is not the whole story, as underreported and non reported cases are estimated at 10 to 1 and as much as 15 to 1.
0.6% of 3.64 million is 23k.

Thanks for the correction on the percentage. Yes, 23K is the expected seizure rate (with or without fever) if those vaccinated kids were not vaccinated and contracted measles. Where are you pulling the 10 to 1 and as much as 15 to 1 from?

From various sources, nurses and doctors. Underreporting of adverse reactions is generally accepted in both camps, pro and anti vaccine. This has been almost common knowledge since the very first immunizations in England circa 1860(4-5?). I'll bring some sources and supporting studies to confirm this later.
