All current power reactors are no different than coal or oil power plants, they make heat, the heat turns water to steam, the steam turns turbines, the turbines turn alternators. You have electricity. Just the source of the heat changes.

Heat produced by the nuclear processes is used to boil water. The steam from the water is used to drive a turbine which in turn drives a dynamo which produces electricity.
