No, nuclear power does not come from fossil fuels. Instead, it is generated through nuclear reactions, primarily the fission of uranium or plutonium atoms. This process produces heat, which is then used to generate electricity. Unlike fossil fuels, nuclear power does not produce carbon emissions during electricity generation.

Depend on nuclear energy?

When nuclear power plants started to be built, around 1960, they were thought to be able to provide cheaper power than conventional fossil fuels. Nowadays this is known to be over optimistic, however with the emphasis now on avoiding production of greenhouse gases, nuclear has advantages over fossil fuels. It is not likely though to overtake the use of fossil fuels for a long time to come.
