I don't know exactly how it works but the uranium pellets are packed into fuel rods and then into fuel bundles. these are lowered into a vat of a moderator(usually water) and there is a nuclear reaction that takes place here. this heats up the water greatly and turns it into steam. this steam turns a turbine which turns an electric generator that powers cities. the steam is then cooled off in the cooling loop and goes back to the reactor core to be turned into steam again.
