Best Answer

Nuclear energy through fission creates heat.
The heat is captured as steam.
Which then runs steam turbines.
The steam turbines are essentially a cross between an old fashioned steam engine and a jet engine.
The steam is condensed and recycled to prevent leaks of radioactive contamination.
