Nuclear fission (splitting of atoms to release their powerful forces) takes place in a nuclear power station. This produces heat which is used to turn water into steam. The steam is used to spin turbines which in turn run generators. A generator is a machine that produces electricity.

What percentage of France's power is derived from nuclear power plants?
About 70-75% of France's electricity is generated from nuclear power plants, making it one of the countries with the highest reliance on nuclear energy in the world.
What is the Asia's largest producer of nuclear generated electricity?
the asia's largest producer of nuclear generated electricity is Japan.
Is electricity from nuclear power the same as more powerful or radioactive compared to electrical energy from other power plants?
Electricity from nuclear power plants is generated using the heat produced by nuclear reactions, which is the same form of energy used in other power plants but the process of generation is different. This does not make electricity from nuclear power more powerful or radioactive compared to electricity from other sources; the radioactivity of electricity is not influenced by the source of generation.
