OK first some background info. The Moon pulls on the earth's oceans, creating tides as it moves around the earth. so gravitational potential energy is turned into kinetic energy of the water molecules in the oceans.
These tides are harnessed by tidal turbines and the kinetic energy is turned into electric potential energy aka electricity.
(I'm not sure what the "heat energy" part means but some of the energy is lost to heat during both steps according to the second law of thermodynamics it that's what you're asking)
Turbines spin generators that produce electrical energy.
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.
chemical potential energy (in the fuel being burned) to heat (thermal) energy and a little light energy.
Precisely because the heat energy that was added was used up elsewhere. Temperature is a kind of kinetic energy; a change of phase (like, from solid to liquid) is a kind of potential energy.Precisely because the heat energy that was added was used up elsewhere.

The energy produced from splitting uranium nuclei in a fission reaction is primarily in the form of heat. This heat is used to generate steam, which drives turbines to produce electricity in nuclear power plants.
The energy is in the form of neutrons. The neutrons are turned into heat energy when they impact in water, and when the heat energy is used to drive turbines the energy is converted into electrical energy.

Heat And Kinetic Energy
Turbines spin generators that produce electrical energy.
Thermal energy, when you heat a solid, it turns to liquid and with more heat it will turn to gas
Mechanical energy.
Heat is the most ubiquitous energy.
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.
The electrical energy is converted to heat.

The initial release of energy is in the form of kinetic energy of the fission fragments, but they are quickly stopped inside the fuel and the energy appears as heat, which is then passed into the coolant, whether water or gas.
