Answer:

Nuclear reaction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nuclear reactions are used in generation of heat in some power plants and thus those are known as nuclear power plants.

The fuel used in nuclear reactor is Uranium-235, which undergoes fussion reaction to give large amount of energy. this energy is in generation of steam in such plants.

thus nuclear fission is the main reaction in the nuclear power plants.
