Nuclear energy is released in fission when a nucleus is split. A small proportion of the mass of the nucleus is annihilated and converted to free energy. Initially this appears as the kinetic energy of the fission fragments, this is quickly converted to thermal energy as the fragments are slowed down.
Think of a nuclear power station as a slowed down nuclear bomb. The heat energy released in the fission process is used to turn water into steam to drive electric turbine generators.

Nuclear energy is released by every fissioning nucleus, about 200 Mev per fission. But as the fission fragments are slowed down and absorbed in the mass of the fuel rods, the nuclear energy is changed to thermal energy (heat) which can then be transferred to the reactor coolant and used for steam raising
As INPO, the Institute of Nuclear Power Operators, there are three special characteristsics of nuclear power, as compared to other industries:1) Nuclear material is radioactive.2) Nuclear power plants contain all of their fuel for one fuel cycle (18-24 months) in their cores.3) Nuclear reactors must maintain cooling systems even after the nuclear reaction has been shut down, due to latent heat production from the fuel.
Initially as kinetic energy of the fission fragments, but this is quickly converted to thermal energy as they are slowed down in the mass of the fuel.

Yes, as heat and radiation Nuclear fission actually releases first fission fragments and other particles with kinetic energy, which then turns to heat as the ejected fission fragments and part of the particles are slowed down within the mass of the solid fuel.

Nuclear energy is obtained by the fissioning of nuclei of uranium235, in a controlled chain reaction in a nuclear reactor, which produces heat that can be converted to electricity by normal power plant methods.
No, it's not. Chemical energy is a form of movement created from breaking down the molecules, while nuclear energy is created from breaking the internal bonds of an atom.
