Yes. Very large amount of energy is derived from uranium. The atom of uranium brake down to give you atom of lead. There is loss of some mass in the process. That mass is converted into energy as per Einstein's equation. That is E = m C square. It is tremendous energy.

What energy is measured in units?

Large amounts of energy are measured in BTU's. Joules is the unit for energy. eV (electron Volt) is a unit for tiny amounts of EM energy. What are large amounts of energy often measured in apart from MJ ? Improvements highly sought.


Does uranium rely on any other energy sources?

The very large nucleus of the uranium atom is a kind of energy storage unit. The energy of that nucleus is the result of the nuclear synthesis reactions that take place in a supernova. In that sense, a supernova is the energy source of uranium.
