Ok, since I slept 30 ft from a reactor, I'll fill you guys in on how they work.
The primary water is pressurized to keep it from boiling or creating stream. Then using heat transference, think a radiator on your car, it heats the secondary water which expands into steam. It's the heat expansion that turns the generators/turbines.
The power source on a nuclear submarine is the size of a baseball and can power it for about 10 years.
The USS Ronald Reagan Carrier has two reactors. One is enough to power all on board ships needs, the second can be used to power a small city like it did in the Philippines after they had a really bad hurricane.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
