About 20 percent of total electricity produced is by nuclear power plants, in the US
As much as you want, as long as you keep supplying heat. That's exactly how electricity is produced in nuclear power plants, and in the ones that burn stuff, like oil, coal, natural gas etc.

Nuclear energy/electricity varies, but in 2007, USA generated an average of 12.4 billion kilowatt-hours per-nuclear plant.
Nuclear power accounts for 6.3% of world's total primary energy supply or 16% of world's total electricity production.

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.

In 2009, nuclear power supplied just over 55% of Ontario's electricity needs, according to Ontario's Independent Electricity System Operator.

Generators are nearly always used for nuclear power, and sometimes used for solar power. In nuclear power plants, the reactor makes steam to run a generator. Much of solar produced electricity does not use a generator, but produces power through a photovoltaic effect. Concentrated solar can be used to make steam to run a generator.

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.
The average efficiency of a nuclear power station is about 33%, measured as the ratio of power electric over power thermal.
