The controlled nuclear reaction generates large amounts of heat. That heat boils water, which creates steam. The steam turns turbine blades, and the turbine generates electricity.
The energy released in nuclear fissions usually of U-235 or Pu-239 (or both together)nuclear power is powered by uranium witch is split in the reactor (main part of the plant) this creates a chemical...
