I worked at a nuclear power station for a little over a year in the eighties, and the short answer is that the heat from the reaction is used to generate steam which then turns a very large turbine to generate electricity.
But that answer has become outdated. The nuclear energy is what powers the turbines which generate the electricity.

This is VERY basic, of course, but that's the gist of it.

I mean seriously! How hard is it to figure out?!

∙ 12y agoNuclear energy is not "produced" in an atom. It is already there. All we do when we initiate fission or fusion reactions is to move the energy from one frame of reference to another.

What happens at the atomic level when light is absorbed?
When an electron absorbs a single photon of light it moves from its current shell to an outer shell.
Is anything produced in addition to light?
heat is produced
How does light produce and propogated?
Light is produced it does not produce. It is produced by the excitement of subatomic particles called photons and propagated by radiation
Descrbe What happen at the atomic level when a substance fluoresces under UV light?
uv light causes.... excitation of electrons of atoms.... leading two phenomenon absorption frequency emmision frequency... read about the principles involoved u will get to know urself.....!!
When we switch on the light electrical energy is converted into light energy. But when we switch off the light the produced light disappears. In which energy the produced light energy is converted to?
The produced disappears whether you switch it off or not - otherwise it would get brighter and brighter. In a closed room, the light would eventually be absorbed, and converted to heat. Outdoors, the light may go into outer space, going on and on and on... at a very high speed known as the "speed of light". In general, bet on heat. Light turns into heat.
What are the Similarities of produced laser light and atomic spectrum?
they have same characteristic of being a light.
What happens at the atomic level when light is absorbed?
When an electron absorbs a single photon of light it moves from its current shell to an outer shell.
How are colors produced by a chemical when it burns related to the atomic structure of the chemical?
Colors are produced by means of energy. When a chemical burns, related atomic structure of chemicals excites the electrons which results in the emission of visible light and forms into various colors.
How is atomic speed produced?
There is no such thing as "atomic speed".
What is produced during atomic fission and atomic fusion?
heat
What is atomic level?
The atomic level is the finest grain of aggregation summarized by a dimensional data model. When applied to dimensions, the atomic level refers to the discrete values the dimension may assume. When applied to a dataset, the atomic level is the cell created by the intersection of all dimensions at the atomic level. The atomic level is the lowest level of detail normally stored in a multi-dimensional database.
What happens to an atomic level when an element melts?
The atomic level is unchanged.
What type of spectrum is produced when the light emitted directly from a hot dense object passes through a prism?
Its called atomic spectrum
How is most energy produced?
Most energy is produced by the breaking and reforming of molecular bonds. A car's combustion reaction in which fuel is converted into energy, co2 and water is a good example of this. Energy is rarely produced on the atomic level, such as a nuclear power plant or an atom bomb. Energy is produced this way through Einstein's E=mc^2. In an atomic reaction the mass of the products is slightly less then the mass of the reactants. Plug the change in mass into Einstein's equation and you get a lot of energy. To recap, most energy is made on the molecular level with endothermic (reactions which absorb energy) and exothermic reactions (reactions which emit energy), however a small amount takes place on the atomic level.
What is the definition of an atomic fingerprint?
It is important to know the definition of terms in science. An atomic fingerprint is defined as the unique set of lines an element has based on its energy level.
How is the light of an emission spectrum of an element produced?
Basically, energy is emitted when an electron falls from a higher energy level to a lower energy level. Such energy is emitted as electromagnetic waves, which in certain cases can be visible light.
What did enstines theory mean?
E=MC2 Energy= Mass x Speed of Light squared The more mass something has the more energy is stored or can be produced from that mass on an atomic level. The more energy something has the the more its mass increases. Also the closer matter gets to the speed of light the more time slows down...in theory
