They Heat Up And Basically Create Heat. In the creation of neculear energy cold water is put into the reactors chamber and it heatsd up due to the neclear reactor which creates steam that turns a turbine that passes through a generator creating electricity.

Nuclear reactors use nuclear fission.
Nuclear reactors use controlled nuclear fission reactions to generate heat, which is then used to produce steam that drives turbines to generate electricity. The heat is produced in the reactor core where nuclear fuel rods containing uranium or plutonium undergo fission reactions. The reactor's cooling system helps regulate the temperature and prevent overheating.
To make fuel rods for nuclear reactors
We use nuclear fission in nuclear reactors to tap nuclear energy.
Not as fuel, but it can be used in breeder reactors as breeding material to make fissile Uranium-233.
There are over 400 nuclear reactors around the world.
there are no bad things about the nuclear power reactors
France has 56 nuclear reactors in operation. This makes France one of the countries with the highest reliance on nuclear energy in the world.
I make it 104 on the NRC website (operating units, that is)
Nuclear power reactors are potentially dangerous, we have to make them safe by careful design and operation
Most nuclear reactors are thermal-neutron reactors. A few fast breeder reactors have been built, but not many.
