a chain reaction
a chain reaction
Only in that to make plutonium or tritium for nuclear bombs you need a reactor. While the reactors that make these materials can also be used to generate electricity, they usually don't. Also the types of reactors usually used to generate electricity are not usually designed to efficiently make these materials.
Primarily, the steam turbines spin the generators, which make electricity. That is the primary objective of a nuclear power plant, to make electricity. There are other steam turbines in a nuclear power plant which are used for various functions, such as High Pressure Coolant Injection and Low Pressure Coolant Injection, which are used during various shutdown and emergency scenarios.
A nucular reactor is the engine that the penguins in Madagascar use to make a quick getaway. It uses nucular fuel, and Marty mistakes it for a nuclear reactor.
Most do it the same way fossil fueled power plants do: by heating water to make steam, which turns turbine/generators. The heat just comes from a different source.
the nuclear reactor makes steam wich drives turbines wich drive generators that make the electricity
a chain reaction
It is an almost insanely simple process. Water is heated by the nuclear reactor to the point it boils and this steam is used to drive a turbine which is connected to a generator. This generator creates the electricity we use.
The nuclear reaction produces heat The heat is used to make steam The steam makes the turbines spin The turbines make electricity

Nuclear energy as obtained in nuclear reactor power plants comes from the fission or splitting of the nuclei of uranium and plutonium. It is not a chemical burning process and does not need any other elements to make it happen.
If you are a smart guy, you can make a nuclear bomb, or a nuclear reactor...
This will happen naturally if the element is radioactive and can be done artificially by means of neutron bombardment in a nuclear reactor or in the heart of a star.

An Ark reactor as currently describe in comic is very much like a Nuclear Fuel Cell. Possibly convert energy from Nuclear reaction to power. Possibly a plasma nuclear fusion reactor. I believe in the future it could be made. See the link and compare the similarity of fusion reactor and Ark reactor.

Usually the same way coal, oil, and natural gas fired power plants make electricity: boiling water to make steam, which turns turbines, which turns the generators.
