Nuclear power plants use a radioactive fuel, usually Uranium-235. This fuel is placed inside tubes inside a reactor. Inside this core neutrons are bombarding the Uranium-235 splitting the atoms which gives off a heat as well as other neutrons. Those neutrons go to split other atoms creating more heat and more neutrons. This loop continues creating heat and neutrons.

Does Nuclear power plants on Earth create energy in the same way as the Sun?
No, nuclear power plants get their energy from fissionof the heavy element uranium, the sun gets its energy from fusion of the light element hydrogen.
