Einstein showed that all matter is equivalent to energy, and deduced the equation E = mc2. However getting matter to give up this energy requires the right matter and the right conditions. We know there are two ways to obtain it, by fusion and by fission. Fusion is the way the stars produce energy, and this can be made to happen with light elements, isotopes of hydrogen are the easiest to activate. Fission happens with heavy elements like uranium and plutonium, and releases energy we can use in power plants.

Nuclear energy is typically used to generate electricity through nuclear power plants. Ships and submarines also use nuclear energy to power their propulsion systems. Additionally, some research facilities and spacecraft are powered by nuclear energy sources.
In countries with nuclear plants, like the US, all the generated electricity goes into the grid distribution network, so you can't separate the nuclear part out. Thus any electrical appliance will be using some nuclear, except in some small isolated areas perhaps which are not connected to the national networks.
Nuclear fission refers to the splitting of an atomic nucleus. It occurs naturally and can be induced in order to release energy. Nuclear fission provides the energy released by nuclear weapons as well as the energy used to produce energy at nuclear power plants.
Nuclear energy is typically converted into electricity through nuclear power plants. During the process, nuclear reactions occur, producing heat that is used to generate steam, which then drives turbines connected to generators to produce electricity. Other potential uses of nuclear energy include propulsion for submarines and spacecraft.
