Working of nuclear power plant Like all other power plants, water is heated and the steam produced creates electricity thanks to alternators driven by steam turbines. They are called turbo-alternators.
The difference between each type of power stations if the fuel used to heat the water and create steam. In thermal power station, coal or gas are burnt whereas in nuclear power plants, the energy needed to boil the water comes from the fission of radionuclide.
the power conversion system can be either a direct cycle from the core directly to the turbine (Boiling Water Reactor - BWR) or indirect cycle with an intermediate loop between the core and the turbine (Pressurized Water Reactor - PWR). In that case, there are heat exchangers (Steam Generators) to transfer heat from the first loop to the second.
