No, it's not. Energy is lost through waste heat (from the reaction) and energy loss from the decay of the nuclear fuel at the heart of the reactor.

Is a nuclear generator 100 percent efficient?

No, nuclear generators are not 100 percent efficient. They typically have an efficiency rate of around 30-40%, which means that 30-40% of the energy from the nuclear reactions is converted into electricity, while the rest is lost as heat.

Could you make a generator that powers a battery and the battery powers the generator?

As a chain this would work, but generators and batteries are not 100% efficient, so you will lose energy at each step. Subsequent batteries and generators along the chain will become less powerful as the energy dissipates.

How does one use a breeder reactor?

It would be used as a more efficient version of a Nuclear Reactor. While a regular nuclear reactor requires almost a factor of 100 greater in fuel amounts, a Breeder reactor uses much less and produces less waste.

What is the efficiency of a generator that produces 80 kilowatts of electric energy and has electric and mechanical losses of 20 kilowatts?

The efficiency of the generator is calculated as the output power divided by the input power. In this case, the input power is the sum of the output power and losses, which is 100 kilowatts. So, the efficiency would be 80 kW / 100 kW = 0.8 or 80%.
