A nuclear reactor emits BTU's (aka: heat).
The reactor needs to be cooled by water, sodium, thoughts-and-prayers, what-ever so it doesn't melt into a heap of slag.
This cooling medium is then use to heat water into steam which is used to turn turbine generators at the proper speed to generate electricity so you can run your air conditioner.
Free energy is mostly a myth unless you wrap a bunch of wire around an old Volkswagen and bury it under a power line.*
I just wanted to clear that up.
