In the US, about 19 percent of total electricity generation, in the world about 16 percent. Most LWR's built in the past produce around 1100 MWe per unit, future build may be up to 1500 MWe per unit.
1.7% of Pakistan electricity is produced by nuclear power stations
Nuclear energy/electricity varies, but in 2007, USA generated an average of 12.4 billion kilowatt-hours per-nuclear plant.
About 20 percent of total electricity produced is by nuclear power plants, in the US

Typically the nuclear energy is converted to electricity and the electricity powers the device. No much differently than the chemical energy in fossil fuels is often converted to electricity and the electricity powers the device.
For electricity, about 16 percent
It's about 20 percent of total electricity generated
Total greenhouse gas emissions (most of it comes from carbon dioxide) from nuclear power is about 5.7 gCeq/kwh (grams of carbon equivalent per kWh of electricity produced). To calculate annual emission form nuclear power, you have to apply it to the electricity generation capacity of a nuclear power plant.
One use is in nuclear power plants to produce steam and turn turbines to generate electricity.Nuclear bombs ^.^
