A nuclear reactor is a device to initiate and control a sustained nuclear chain reaction. Nuclear reactors are used at nuclear power plants for generating electricity and in propulsion of ships. Heat from nuclear fission is passed to a working fluid (water or gas), which runs through turbines. These either drive a ship's propellers or turn electrical generators.
Nuclear generated steam in principle can be used for industrial process
heat or for district heating. Some reactors are used to produce
isotopes for medical and industrial use, or for production of plutonium for weapons. Some are run only for research.
