Steam is used to drive turbines, which drive alternators -the steam having been superheated (i.e. beyond 100oC) in large boilers, by burning coal, oil, or other fuels, or by nuclear reaction.

How is a nuclear power similar to a steam engine?

A nuclear power plant and a steam engine are similar in that they both convert thermal energy into mechanical energy. In a steam engine, fuel is burned to heat water, creating steam that drives a piston or turbine. Similarly, a nuclear power plant uses nuclear fission to generate heat, which produces steam that turns turbines to generate electricity. Both systems ultimately rely on the expansion of steam to perform work.

Why PRDS used in thermal power plant?

they work parallel to power generating turbines. The only difference between prds and turbine is that prds give only process steam by simply reducing the pressure of incoming steam while a turbine generates power out of that pressure reduction, and also give left out steam as process steam.
