Through nuclear reactions. When a nucleus of U-235 is split (fissioned), some energy is released
Nuclear energy gets its power from the release of binding energy (The Strong Atomic Force) in nuclei, either by fission (the usual case) or by fusion (the method used in the Sun).

What energy transformations occur nuclear power plant?

As atoms break and forming elements having more binding energy per nucleon heat energy is released. Hence nuclear energy gets changed into heat energy Right from heat energy mechanical energy is produced This mechanical energy in the presence of magnetic field gets changed into electrical energy. So nuclear ---> heat ---> mechanical ----> electrical


What energy do nuclear power plants create?
