How is the very high heat released by nuclear fission utilized in
conventional nuclear power plants to provide electricity to
homes and businesses?
High amounts of heat are sent directly to homes to power stoves,
refrigerators, and other devices.
The resulting steam is used to cool the reactors in the nuclear plant.
The heat is used to break water into hydrogen & oxygen which is then
burned to produce electricity.
The heat is used to produce steam that is passed through a turbine
then a generator for electricity.

Final answer:

Nuclear fission reactions in uranium fuel rods heat water to produce steam, which turns turbines to generate electricity.


Explanation:

The large amounts of energy produced by the nuclear fission reactions in the uranium fuel rods heat the water to produce steam. The steam is used to turn large turbines which transfer the kinetic energy to generators, which produce electricity in the same way as in other power stations.
