Large atoms are broken up into smaller atoms, but the total mass of the smaller atoms is less than the total mass of the original atom. Some mass is missing. That mass has been converted into energy at the rate E=mc², which is enormous.
nuclear power plants
Nuclear power plants use nuclear energy as their source of power. They harness the energy released from nuclear reactions (such as fission) to generate electricity. The heat produced by these reactions is used to create steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity.
The USA uses the most nuclear energy. There is the highest number of Nuclear Power Plants in the world. The reason is simple: USA needs energy and the easiest way to get it is building nuclear power plants.
They use nuclear energy to produce power for the grid.

Nuclear fission refers to the splitting of an atomic nucleus. It occurs naturally and can be induced in order to release energy. Nuclear fission provides the energy released by nuclear weapons as well as the energy used to produce energy at nuclear power plants.
It depends on if its a nuclear power plant or not.
All current nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to produce energy. For more information on fission and power plants, see the related links.
