The danger arises from the very active fission products that are formed by fission of U235 and Pu 239. These are contained in the fuel, provided the zircaloy sheath is intact and leakproof, and reactor safety operational limits and procedures, as well as all the safety design features like secondary containment, are meant to keep them contained. The PWR and BWR have had very good safety records, and there is no need for concern, but it is essential to take safety seriously when running a nuclear plant.

Is fission nuclear energy chemical energy or mechanical energy?

Nuclear fission is a type of nuclear reaction that converts nuclear energy into thermal energy (heat), which can then be used to generate mechanical energy (such as electricity). So, fission nuclear energy originates as nuclear energy and can be converted into mechanical energy.
