Yes, it does. It has the highest joules per kilogram energy output of all of our energy processes and, ultimately, the cheapest cost per kilowatt-hour of all our power sources. Too bad it had the highest baseline cost per station of all the power plants around.
In a nuclear reactor, nuclear energy is converted to thermal energy. The thermal energy is used to heat water to make steam which can be used to spin turbines. The turbines spin electrical generators. A lot of electric power comes from nuclear power plants.
Nuclear power is in use. Feasibility is 100%. There are a lot of questions yet to be reasolved, but whether it can make power or not is proven.

Nuclear fission happens when the strong nuclear force of an atom has been overcome. It releases a lot of heat, and this is typically used to boil water, to drive turbines, which turn the heat energy into mechanical energy, and this is used to power generators to make electricity.
Wind power can be quite costly over time, but nuclear power creates wastes that cost a lot of money to dispose of, let alone getting the nuclear rods in the first place. However, nuclear power can provide much more power than wind power, so they are more or less equals.
Japan and the US both use large amounts of nuclear power. The reason for this is both are highly populated, industrial countries. They use a lot of power, so they need efficient energy sources like nuclear power.
Nuclear fission generally produces a lot of energy. In a nuclear power plant, this energy is used to create steam to turn a turbine and generate electricity.
First, the Sun is pretty big, and there is a LOT of hydrogen. Second, nuclear fusion generates a WHOLE lot of energy.
No, the opposite, it releases a lot of energy
Reactors now can provide up to 1500 MWe per reactor, so it is quite a lot.
Nuclear. Hence Nuclear bombs. Which shows they contain a LOT of energy. A LOT.
Yes.
