Nuclear power is generated in nuclear power plants. The energy is produced through nuclear reactions in the reactor core, which then generates heat. This heat is used to produce steam that drives turbines connected to generators, producing electricity.
No, nuclear power is not a fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are formed from the remains of living organisms over millions of years, while nuclear power is generated by splitting atoms in a process called nuclear fission.
The majority of nuclear energy on Earth is produced in the core of the sun through nuclear fusion reactions. Once this energy reaches Earth's surface, it is used for electricity generation in nuclear power plants, medical applications such as cancer treatments using radiation therapy, and research purposes like nuclear physics experiments.
Electricity produced by magnetism is called induced voltage. It is by induction, the passage of a magnetic field across a conductor, that a voltage will be induced ("caused" or "made to happen") in that conductor.

France
About 25 percent of all nuclear electricity is generated in the US. France is second with about an eighth. About 20% of all electricity in the US is nuclear. Almost 80% of the electricity in France is nuclear.
No. About 20% of the US electrical energy supply is from nuclear power.
Of electrical energy, about 16 percent. You can get some interesting information from website: http://www.world-nuclear.org/info/inf01.htm
Thermal energy is produced when a material's temperature increases due to the absorption of heat from an external source, such as burning fuel, friction, or electrical resistance. It can also be generated through other methods like nuclear reactions or solar radiation.
Until converted, it is potential energy. However, to make nuclear energy domestically useful it is converted into thermal (thermodynamic) energy (heat), which, in turn, is converted into electrical energy, both of which are kinetic energy.

Nuclear power stations collect nuclear energy, and produce heat energy and electrical energy.
