hey mate here is yours answer
Nowadays, the main use given to nuclear energy is the generation of electric power. Nuclear power plants are responsible of doing this process. Almost all nuclear power plants in production are using nuclear fissionsince the nuclear fusion, despite being under development, is currently unfeasible.
The operation of a nuclear power plant is identical to the operation of a thermoelectric power plant operating with coal, oil or gas, except in the way of providing heat to the water for converting this one into steam. In nuclear reactors this process of producing heat is made by the fission reactions of the fuel atoms.
90% of nuclear power reactors in the world, or in other words, reactors for electrical energy production, are light water reactors (in pressurized water or boiling water versions).

Introduction:
____________
When we talk about word nuclear, what strikes our mind is an immense amount of energy. Keeping in mind the material handling complexities and safety concerns, it’s still been most abundantly used source of energy for producing power all around the world. Extracting power from nuclear fuel has now become a need, to meet the increasing energy demands and for economical growth of a country. Nuclear power plant generates electrical energy using heat energy and Uranium-235 is used as a fuel, to produce that heat.
Why Nuclear Power Plant is Invented?
_____________________________
The depletion of the non-renewable energy resources forces the scientist of the world to find a new source of energy which can fulfill the requirement of the electricity demand of the world. It was the year 1948 when electricity was generated for the first time at X-10 Graphite reactor in Oak Ridge, Tennessee of United States of America. It was the first nuclear power plant which powers a light bulb.
Working Principle:
________________
The energy source of a nuclear power plant is fission reaction. In fission reaction we start with an unstable atom (uranium-235) which splits apart into two small more stable atoms. When we go from something that is really very unstable (uranium-235) to thing that is more stable (barium and krypton), energy is released. Now to split the uranium atom we need to aggravate it, what we do is we strike a neutron into this big uranium atom, which converts it into uranium-236 from uranium -235. Uranium-236 is super unstable atom and splits up into krypton-92 and barium-141, which are way more stable. Other than release of energy, 3 free neutrons are also released in the process. These neutrons further strikes another 3 uranium atoms and starts up a chain reaction, helping in getting a great amount of thermal energy.
