So a nucler reactor is just a kettle with an extra spicy heating element?

Yes. Water + spicy rocks. Everything else is solar power, which is also nuclear power, but with the spiciness in the sky instead.

I mean, radioactive isotopes are formed in supernovae, so it's really just solar power from a different sun, right?

it's spicy rocks all the way down.

All power is nuclear power when you keep digging, whether rocks come into play or not!
