Best Answer

Uranium that is sufficiently 'enriched' is clumped together in sufficient quantity so

that a controlled chain reaction goes on in the clump, which gives off a lot of heat.

Then, in an even-more-impressive application of modern leading-edge technology,

the heat is used to boil water, and the steam is blown through the vanes of a

turbine generator, just as if the water had been heated by burning coal or wood.
