The produced nuclear energy manifests itself as heat energy transferred to the coolant passing by it and heats it up. The coolant is either transforms directly into steam (as in boiling water reactors) or it transfers its heat to another secondary coolant (through a steam generator) transferring it into steam. The steam flows to a turbine to operate it and the turbine consequently turns and electric generator that produces electricity.
