it depends on the type of reactor.
in the case of a gas cooled reactor, heat is generated by nuclear reaction and is taken away by convection method through another gas medium;
in this case c02 / carbon dioxide.
this hot gas is assisted by use of a series of cooling fan motors which pump the hot gas up past the hot channels , absorbing the heat, and the hot gas is then allowed to move down against a series of boilers which have high pressurised water within them .
this water is turned to steam and this steam is taken away to the turbine which utilises the energy contained within the steam , to drive a series of blades mounted on a turbine set.
the condensed steam is taken back via a water cleaning plant before being returned to the boilers as clean water to be used again .

What is artificial nuclear reactor?
An artificial nuclear reactor is a nuclear reactor that is created by man to utilize a nuclear reaction for energy, as opposed to natural nuclear reactors.
What is nuclear reactor kinetics?
Nuclear reactor kinetics is the branch of reactor engineering and reactor physics and control that deals with long term time changes in reactor fuel and nuclear reactors.
Does South Africa has a nuclear reactor?

How does nuclear reactor works to produce electricity?
how electricity is produced in a nuclear reactor
What is the difference between nuclear reactor and nuclearpower plant?
a nuclear reactor converts binding energy into heat. a nuclear power plant uses a nuclear reactor to generate electricity.
What is the function of a nuclear reactor of a nuclear plant?
simply, the nuclear reactor is the source of heat (or steam) for the nuclear power plant.
What is a reactor used for in welders?
Not a nuclear reactor!
What is a Nuclear reactor moisture separator?
This is used in the nuclear reactor that is known as Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) in which heat produced by the nuclear fission in the nuclear fuel allows the light water reactor coolant to boil. Then, the nuclear reactor moisture separator is used to increase the dryness of the produced steam before it goes to the reactor steam turbines.
Do Breeder reactor and nuclear reactor have similarities?
A breeder reactor is one type of nuclear reactor, but not a type that is in general commercial use at the present time
