Nuclear energy is released from the nucleus when U235 fissions, it appears initially as kinetic energy of the fission fragments, these are then stopped in the fuel material and turned to thermal energy. We can't use the nuclear energy directly.
We don't generally try to associate the conversion of mechanical energy to nuclear energy of any kind. Mechanical energy can be looked at as the energy of motion (kinetic energy) or the stored energy of position (potential energy). Nuclear energy is associated with the nuclear binding energy in atomic nuclei, and the conversion of Atomic Mass into energy. It's too much of a leap to attempt to link mechanical energy to any kind of nuclear potential energy.
It is not clear what you are expecting the material to be converted into, BUT in a nuclear power plant the nuclear fission that goes on does convert one material (element) into another material (element).
One use is in nuclear power plants to produce steam and turn turbines to generate electricity.Nuclear bombs ^.^
It is useful because it does not produce carbon dioxide as it is not combusted to produce energy, also, it gives off huge amounts of energy from small quantities of uranium or plutonium. However, it takes a long time to power up or power down nuclear plants, making it quite inefficient.
All angiospermic plants produce flowers and have vascular tissue.
The consequences of the Einstein equation E = mc2 or the change in m (mass) are life. The sun uses the process of four Hydrogen nuclei (protons) fusing into one Helium nucleus (two protons and two neutrons) to produce the large amounts of energy that drive our star (the sun). The Helium nucleus has less mass than the 4 Hydrogen nuclei and that mass is converted into energy. A huge amount of energy. Man has been trying to contain this fusion process to produce clean energy, but so far have failed. The have of course been able to produce nuclear bombs in this process, which is a regrettable consequence of harnessing the fusion reaction here on earth. We have been able to use the fission reaction to power nuclear power plants as well as the less powerful fission bomb. The fission nuclear bomb is still a danger to humankind that it would be great if we could rid the planet of them all.
it is stored as starch or it is taken in the veins to other parts of the plantPlants produce glucose and other more complex sugars by photosynthesis. They use some of it for cellular metabolism and store the rest for later use.
Nuclear power plants produce electricity by using nuclear energy
To produce electricity
All current nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to produce energy. For more information on fission and power plants, see the related links.

nuclear fission
fission.
Nuclear energy, or nuclear power, uses exothermic nuclear processes to produce electricity. Nuclear power plants provide around 10% of the world's electricity.
They use nuclear energy to produce power for the grid.
most cannot, as to produce weapons grade plutonium the fuel cycle must be made very very short. however soviet RBMK reactors and the US hanford N reactor were designed explicitly to produce both electric power and weapons grade plutonium.
Assuming you mean "nuclear energy": power plants don't produce it, they use it.
Using nuclear fission, generators are turned.
The only similarity I can think of is that they both produce electricity
