Nuclear power is an alternative setup for endgame power generation, trading a much more complex setup for increased energy density compared to conventional burner power. It might refer also to the technology, or the overal workings of extraction and processing of uranium-235 and uranium-238.
Electric power generation
In general, nuclear power is produced by mining uranium ore, processing it to uranium-235 and uranium-238 and creating uranium fuel cells from the two. These fuel cells are then burned in a nuclear reactor to create heat. The heat can be used to convert water to steam using a heat exchanger and the steam can be consumed by steam turbines to produce power. For more info, see Tutorial:Nuclear power.
