How does a nuclear reactor produce electricity?

In the majority of the power plants, there is a need to spin a turbine in order to produce electricity. Natural gas, coal, nuclear energy, and oil, utilize their fuel to convert water into steam and use that steam to turn the turbine. However, nuclear plants are distinct as they do not burn anything to produce steam, in spite, they dissociate the atoms of uranium in the process known as fission.  

As an outcome, unlike other sources of energy, the nuclear power plants do not discharge pollutants like sulfur oxides and nitrogen into the air. The nuclear reactors are created to maintain an ongoing chain of the fission reaction. They are occupied with a uniquely created, solid uranium fuel and surrounded by water that helps in the procedure.  

With the start of the reactor, the atoms of uranium will split, discharging heat and neutrons. These neutrons will stimulate other atoms of uranium and makes them to dissociate and to carry the procedure, producing more heat and more neutrons. This heat is used to produce the steam, which will rotate a turbine that powers a generator to produce electricity.
