nuclear reactor produces and controls the release of energy from splitting the atoms of uranium. Uranium-fuelled nuclear power is a clean and efficient way of boiling water to make steam which drives turbine generators.

hi
hope this will help you
working of a nuclear reactor:- Nuclear reactor is a device in that controlled chain reaction takes place and used to produce the electricity.
The nuclear reactor consists of 5 parts
1)Nuclear fuel-
uranium( Uranium-235)is taken in the form of rods and filled in the alluminium cylinders and sealed.
2)Moderators- moderators are used to decrease the velocity of neutrons.Graphite rods,pure water,heavy water are used as moderators.
3)Control rods-control rods are used to control the chain reaction.thease rods can be moved up and down in the nuclear reactor.thease rods absorb all the neutrons ,then the chain reaction is controlled.
4)Shielding-in nuclear fission process harmfull electromagnetic radiations are emitted,to protect human beings from thease radiations the entire nuclear reactor is covered by a protective layer called shielding.
5)Coolent-to cool the nuclear reactor reactor coolent is used.
Working:- uranium is taken in the form of rods and placed in alluminium cylinders and seperated by a certain distance.now in thease gaps graphite moderators are placed and in the moderator holes control rods are placed.
uranium has 143 neutrons and 92 protons.when uranium 235 collide with single neutron then three neutrons are released.if thease neutrons are passing through the moderators then their velocity decreases and they undergoes chain reaction. by adjusting the control rods we can control the chain reaction.
The heat produced in the nuclear reactor is transfered with the help of the coolent.due to this heat steam is produced.when this steam is passed through the turbines then electricity is generated.
Uses of nuclear reactor:-
1)To produce the electricity.
2)To produce the isotopes.
