kinetic
Nuclear fission releases energy in the form of heat, which can be converted into electricity.
The initial energy release creates kinetic energy in the fission fragments which fly apart, but they are quickly brought to rest in the surrounding fuel material and this generates heat.
Each fission of a U235 nucleus produces 200 Mev which in terms of Joules is 3.2 x 10-11 Joules. This is a very small amount, which shows just how many fissions are occurring every second, for a reactor which produces 3000 Mw thermal
Nuclear energy.
Fission releases energy by splitting the nucleus of an atom into smaller parts, which releases a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation.
Production of Nuclear energy involves fission. The fission process often produces free neutrons and photons in the form of gamma rays, and releases a very large amount of energy.
For each gram of reactant fusion produces more energy than fission.
Fission does not occur in the sun, it is fusion which produces the sun's energy
Fusion produces energy more than fission by around 400 times for same mass.
Not precisely. The current technology of nuclear energy gets energy from fission. Fission produces radiation, as well as energy.
Fusion, like fission, produces its energy mostly in the form of heat. Since this applies to atoms, it can also be seen as kinetic energy.
In fission reactors, which is the only practicable source of energy at present, it is the fission of the nuclei of uranium and plutonium which produces the energy
Nuclear fission releases energy in the form of heat, which can be converted into electricity.
Uranium fission creates a chain reaction that initiates a chain reaction that grows exponentially into a massive conversion of the potential energy inside the uranium atom into kinetic energy in the form of an explosion - a nuclear explosion. These are the bombs that ended WW2. Today we can split H atoms, which release significantly more energy.

In the US, about 20 percent of electricity
In nuclear fusion, energy is released when atoms are combined or fused together to form a larger atom. This is how the sun produces energy. In nuclear fission, atoms are split apart to form smaller atoms, releasing energy. Nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to produce electricity.
