Well, as nuclear reactors are nuclear reactors, nuclear reactors are not used inside nuclear reactors.
Nuclear reactors use nuclear fission.
Uranium (as metal, alloy, oxide, carbide, etc.) is the nuclear fuel for the nuclear power reactors.
This is a link to the model of a CANDU reactor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:CANDU_Reactor_Schematic.svg This is a link to a page that shows the models for several generation IV (not yet-existing) reactors. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_IV_reactor
There are 59 nuclear reactors in France.
Primarily, nuclear reactors are used to generate heat, which is used to flash water to steam, which is used to spin turbines, which are used to generate electricity. It is also possible to use reactors for research, as well as for weapons development, such as in the generation of weapons grade Plutonium-239.

As far as I know Australia does not want any nuclear plants
We use nuclear fission in nuclear reactors to tap nuclear energy.
Current nuclear reactors rely on nuclear fission as their nuclear reaction.
There are over 400 nuclear reactors around the world.
As of 2010, India has 20 Nuclear Reactors.
