A nuclear reactor works by using controlled fission reactions to generate heat. This heat is then converted into electricity using a turbine or a thermoelectric generator. In space, the reactor is designed to operate in a vacuum and can use radiators to dissipate excess heat, ensuring that the system remains stable and efficient.
