During nuclear fission, mass is converted into energy.
The mass defect in fission power plants is used to release energy by converting a small fraction of the mass of a heavy nucleus into energy during nuclear fission. This energy is then used to generate heat, which is converted into electricity through turbines and generators. The difference in mass before and after the fission reaction contributes to the energy released.
The principle of mass conversion to energy. The mass loss (due to nuclear fission or nuclear fusion) is converted to thermal energy. The thermal energy is converted (through turbines) to mechanical energy. The mechanical energy is converted (through electric generators) to electrical energy.
In nuclear reactions, mass can be converted into energy according to Einstein's famous equation, Emc2. This means that a small amount of mass can be converted into a large amount of energy. This process occurs during nuclear reactions, such as nuclear fission or fusion, where the nucleus of an atom is split or combined, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the form of radiation.
Nuclear energy is produced in fission by the destruction of mass (a small proportion of the mass of the U-235 nucleus). The energy appears initially as kinetic energy of the fission fragments, which are quickly stopped inside the fuel rods and the energy is converted to thermal energy (heat)
Mass.The total mass of the fragment nuclei after fission, or the composite nucleus after fusion,is less than the mass of the nuclei that entered the process.
Nuclear fission is the process of splitting an atomic nucleus into two or more smaller nuclei. During this process, some mass is converted into energy according to Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2, where c is the speed of light. The mass defect is the difference in mass between the original nucleus and the smaller nuclei produced after fission, and this missing mass is converted into energy.

It is related to the specific nuclear reactor design including the nuclear fuel amount and the reactor control system and the energy extracting medium (coolant) capacity.
The amount of energy released during nuclear fission reactions is primarily determined by the mass difference between the initial nucleus and the fission products. This mass difference is converted into energy according to Einstein's mass-energy equivalence principle (E=mc^2). Additionally, the way in which the fission process is initiated and controlled can also impact the amount of energy released.
The amount of energy produced during nuclear fission is related to the mass difference between the original nucleus and the fission products, as described by Einstein's equation E=mc^2. This mass difference is converted to energy, releasing a large amount of heat and radiation.

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.

No, mass does not increase during a nuclear change. According to the principle of mass-energy equivalence (E=mc^2), the mass of the reactants is converted into energy during a nuclear change.
