Core of CROCUS, a small nuclear reactor used for research at the EPFL in Switzerland. A nuclear reactor, formerly known as an atomic pile, is a device used to initiate and control a sustained nuclear chain reaction. Nuclear reactors are used at nuclear power plants for electricity generation and in propulsion of ships. Heat from nuclear fission is passed to a working fluid (water or gas), which runs through steam turbines. These either drive a ship's propellers or turn electrical generators.
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.There is no combustion in a nuclear reactor. Hereâs how the process works. There are two types of nuclear reactors in the United States:t nuclear power plants, the heat to make the steam is created when uranium atoms split â called fission. There is no combustion in a nuclear reactor.
