We use nuclear fission to make electricity by generating enormous amounts of heat in the reactor; the heat is used to turn water to steam which then turns turbines that revolve the alternators that make the electricity. The heat comes from the release of binding energy (Strong Atomic Force) that hold nuclei together. The fission reaction consists of using a neutron of the right energy to destabilize a nucleus, which then splits into two, releasing more neutrons that setup a chain reaction. Along with the neutrons comes energy, mostly in the form of heat, due to the release of binding energy manifest as a loss of mass.
