In the operation of nuclear power plants like PWR and BWR
Fission.
The element first used for fission in an atomic bomb is uranium.
We can use plutonium in nuclear fission devices.
Nuclear fission has been used in nuclear bombs and is currently being used in every nuclear power plant on the earth.
Both are used.
The isotopes 233U, 235U, 239Pu, 241Pu for a fission with low energy neutrons.

Uranium is used to make energy by fission
No, uranium is not the only element that can be used in nuclear fission. Other elements like plutonium and thorium can also undergo nuclear fission reactions. Uranium-235 is the most commonly used isotope, but plutonium-239 and thorium-232 can also sustain fission reactions in certain nuclear reactors.
The fuel most commonly used in fission reactions is uranium-235. This isotope undergoes nuclear fission when bombarded by neutrons, releasing energy in the process.
