To produce electricity
The most common use of nuclear energy is in generating electricity through nuclear power plants. Nuclear fission reactions are used to produce heat, which is then converted into electricity through steam turbines. This process provides a significant portion of the world's electricity supply.
Two common sources of nuclear energy are nuclear fission, where atoms are split to release energy, and nuclear fusion, where atoms are combined to release energy. Nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to generate electricity, while nuclear fusion is a process being researched as a potential future source of clean energy.
Batteries use chemical energy to create voltage to drive current flow. They do not use nuclear energy.
Two common sources of nuclear energy are the fusion reaction in the Sun, and the fission reaction in various nuclear power plants. Both release binding energy (Strong Atomic Force) which manifests, primarily, as heat.
Nuclear energy is gained from atoms of any kind, thus the name 'Nuclear'. We generally only use heavy, radioactive atoms for nuclear energy though, as they contain lots of energy and are easier to split than others typically. The most common element used in Nuclear Energy plants is Uranium, which is mined naturally in many world locations.

That released by fission in a nuclear reactor
no. most reactors use water as coolant and/or moderator, but nuclear energy is energy and contains no matter.
Nuclear produced electricity just goes into the common grid distribution system, so no community relies on nuclear energy alone.
