Because of the size of the sun, there is not enough chemicals on earth to compare to what the sun holds, besides no one has ever gone to the sun to do research on it.
A nuclear meltdown is an informal term for a severe nuclear reactor accident that results in core damage from overheating. A meltdown occurs when the heat generated by a nuclear reactor exceeds the heat removed by the cooling systems to the point which at least one nuclear fuel plate exceeds its melting point.
In a nuclear reactor, the process of nuclear fission splits the nucleus of certain atoms, typically uranium-235 or plutonium-239, to create energy. This splitting of atomic nuclei releases a tremendous amount of heat energy, which is then used to generate electricity through steam turbines.
A nuclear reactor generates heat by controlled nuclear fission. Primary coolant carries this heat away to make steam. If a reactor is not cooled, it will overheat. Even if it is shut down immediately, the radioactive fragments of fission in the core will still be undergoing radioactive decay. This will continue to generate a lot of what we call decay heat. This heat can be sufficient to melt the metal that forms the fuel elements if cooling is not maintained, and the result is a nuclear meltdown with various consequences.
From the nuclear reactor comes thermal energy (heat), which is then turned into electricity.
Heat is generated inside a nuclear reactor by the release of binding energy (Strong Atomic Force) by the process of fission (splitting one atom into two) or fusion (combining two atoms into one).
In a nuclear bomb temperatures of 10 million centigrade or more are produced. In a nuclear reactor temperatures of 100 centigrade to about 1000 centigrade are produced depending on type and design of reactor.
simply, the nuclear reactor is the source of heat (or steam) for the nuclear power plant.
Water.
a nuclear reactor converts binding energy into heat. a nuclear power plant uses a nuclear reactor to generate electricity.
To produce heat.
Heat is eliminated through use of reactor coolant passing over the nuclear fuel in the primary coolant loops.
In most reactors in the world, water is used to absorb heat released from the reactor.
Produce heat (energy) from nuclear fission.
This is used in the nuclear reactor that is known as Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) in which heat produced by the nuclear fission in the nuclear fuel allows the light water reactor coolant to boil. Then, the nuclear reactor moisture separator is used to increase the dryness of the produced steam before it goes to the reactor steam turbines.

The nuclear reactor produces heat which is used to raise steam to feed a steam turbine/generator set
If you mean a nuclear reactor, and not a chemical one, there is only one way, and that is by nuclear fission in the fuel
