Thermionic generators convert heat or light into an electric current by using the temperature difference between two metallic plates that are separated by a vacuum. The hot plate is heated either by incident light or thermal conduction and this causes electrons to evaporate from its surface.
In a nuclear-fueled power plant â much like a fossil-fueled power plant â water is turned into steam, which in turn drives turbine generators to produce electricity. The difference is the source of heat. At nuclear power plants, the heat to make the steam is created when uranium atoms split â called fission.
