Nuclear power plants produce electricity by using nuclear energy
Nuclear power stations collect nuclear energy, and produce heat energy and electrical energy.
They use nuclear energy to produce power for the grid.
Nuclear energy, or nuclear power, uses exothermic nuclear processes to produce electricity. Nuclear power plants provide around 10% of the world's electricity.
nuclear fission
All current nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to produce energy. For more information on fission and power plants, see the related links.

fission.
Nuclear power.
A nuclear power plant produces electrical (electromagnetic) energy, or what most call electricity or electric power.
Assuming you mean "nuclear energy": power plants don't produce it, they use it.
Nuclear fission refers to the splitting of an atomic nucleus. It occurs naturally and can be induced in order to release energy. Nuclear fission provides the energy released by nuclear weapons as well as the energy used to produce energy at nuclear power plants.
