Basically: Radioactive Uranium is made in long rods.
At a nuclear power plant, they place many of these rods into water.
This water then becomes heated, boils and turns into steam.
This steam turns a steam turbine.
This turbine is connected to a electrical generator.
The spinning generator creates electricity.

How does nuclear energy power a device?
Typically the nuclear energy is converted to electricity and the electricity powers the device. No much differently than the chemical energy in fossil fuels is often converted to electricity and the electricity powers the device.
Can nuclear energy be converted into electricity?
yes
What is the energy of nuclear power converted into?
Heat. Which is used to boil water which turns a turbine. The turbine generates electricity.
Elements in space used in nuclear power?
Spacecraft using nuclear power use the heat energy of Plutonium-238. The heat energy of the radioactive pellet of Plutonium-238 is converted into electricity.
Does a nuclear power plant produces electricity?
Yes, nuclear power plants produce electric power (electricity).
How is the energy from the nuclei of atoms is converted into electricity?
nuclear fission
How is nuclear energy used to produce electricity?
Nuclear energy, or nuclear power, uses exothermic nuclear processes to produce electricity. Nuclear power plants provide around 10% of the world's electricity.
How much electricity is produced by nuclear power?
1.7% of Pakistan electricity is produced by nuclear power stations
Is nuclear energy appropriate for your home?
Not directly, but in when converted into electricity, yes.
What is a sentence for energy?
Nuclear energy is obtained by the fissioning of nuclei of uranium235, in a controlled chain reaction in a nuclear reactor, which produces heat that can be converted to electricity by normal power plant methods.
How is nuclear converted to electricity?
First it is converted to heat. This will then usually drive some variation of a steam engine.
Where is nuclear How and where it is used?
Nuclear Power is used in power stations to produce electricity
