The way a reactor works is in a nuclear power plant water is turned into steam‚ which drives turbine generators to produce electricity. At nuclear power plants‚ the heat to make the steam is created when the uranium atoms split which is called fission. Theory behind nuclear reactions: it is made from the basic principles of physics. Reactors make fissions reactions in uranium fuel‚ which is controlled by moderators and neutron poisons. What are breeder reactors? A nuclear reactor the creates fissile
