The excess thermal energy is used to heat a coolant. You know those tall cooling towers that are the hallmark of a nuclear reactor? The final cooling is often done by spraying the hot water onto the concrete tower.
Yes, a power reactor is a type of thermal reactor. Power reactors use nuclear fission to produce heat, which is then used to generate electricity. The heat generated in the reactor comes from the controlled chain reaction of nuclear fission, making it a thermal reactor.
Nuclear to thermal energy conversion happens inside a nuclear reactor through fission processes which produce heat. This thermal energy is then used to generate steam in a heat exchanger. The steam drives a turbine connected to an electric generator, converting the thermal energy into electrical current.
In a nuclear power plant, nuclear energy is transformed into thermal energy through nuclear fission reactions within the reactor core. The thermal energy produced is then used to generate steam, which drives a turbine connected to a generator that produces electricity.
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.
You can work out the gas flow from the gas circulator characteristics, and measure the reactor inlet and outlet temperatures, so you can work out the reactor thermal output. Then you can measure the thermal conditions in the steam circuit from feed flow and temperature and steam temperature and pressure, this will give the reactor thermal output together with the gas circulator heat input. From all this data work out the best estimate for the reactor output. The generator output is straightforward, then you have to subtract the power being used on the plant for driving the gas circulators and feed pumps etc, to get the net electrical output, then it is just the ratio of that to the reactor thermal output.

If you mean energy produced by nuclear reactors, then "heat" and "light" would be the answers (Just think of the sun)
I thinks its Nuclear fission that’s what I put
No, a nuclear reactor produces thermal energy and ionising radiation, no magnetic effects.
Nuclear reactor
Yes, that is how the nuclear energy is transferred to the turbine/generator

Yes, we can increase the thermal power of a nuclear reactor without changing the core of the reactor; primarily by:increasing the coolant mass flow rate,modifying the control rod patterns, andupgrading the turbo generator system
It is called thermal shield
A nuclear power plant is a thermal power station. The heat source is nuclear reactor. Its main point is to produce electricity.
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.
