What is a nuclear reactor and what are the pros and cons of it?

I need to know for homework before tomorrow morning (Sept. 10th). I’m going to be in a science debate,but I don’t understand the whole concept. What is the difference between nuclear bombs and nuclear reactors? I’m pro in the debate, so help me out.

A nuclear reactor is a device in which nuclear chain reactions are initiated, controlled, and sustained at a steady rate, as opposed to a nuclear bomb, in which the chain reaction occurs in a fraction of a second and is uncontrolled.

The most significant use of nuclear reactors is as an energy source for the generation of electrical power and for the power in some ships .
