Radioactive decay generates heat. The heat is used in a reactor to boil water. The steam of the boiling water is used to drive a turbine which runs a generator to produce electricity.

How did the Fukushima nuclear power plant work?
like any power plant
Can workers in nuclear power plants be seriously affected by radioactivity in uranium?
In a nuclear power plant (nuclear reactor) the radioactivity of uranium is not a problem in normal work conditions.
How is electricity produced at a nuclear power plant?
Nuclear power is the use of sustained Nuclear fission to generate heat and do useful work. Heat from nuclear fission boils water to make steam, which pushes a turbine. The turbine generates electricity using a magnet through a process called electromagnetic induction.
How does a nuclear power plant work quick answer?
Heat from a controlled nuclear reaction heats water into steam. The steam turns a turbine, which is attached to a generator. The generator then makes electricity.
Will nuclear power work in the future?
I expect so, unless public opinion turns against it. This happened in Italy for example.
Where do Homer work?

Can nuclear energy work with other forms of energy?
Nuclear energy is converted to electrical energy in a nuclear power plant.
What happens if a nuclear power plant does not work?
It produces no electricity
How nuclear power and microbial fuel cells work?
photosynthesis
Is it safe to work or live in the nuclear power plant?
obviously not
Did Matt groening work at a nuclear power plant?
No he doesn't. He works/worked as the creator of the Simpson's. Why do you think he works at a nuclear power plant?
What does a nuclear power plant work off?
The energy released in nuclear fission, mainly of uranium-235
How did the first steam engine work?
two words: nuclear power
Where would nuclear fuels work in south Africa?
Koeberg Nuclear Power Station outside of Cape Town
Why would you want a scientist working on a nuclear power plant?
Governments want scientists to work on a nuclear power plant to lessen the dependence of fossil fuels. The product of nuclear power plants are atomic energy, a clean energy alternative.
