The significance of energy of nuclear fission in the commercial power reactor.

Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The nuclear fission is the reaction in which the heavy nucleus splits into small nuclear fragments. The high amount of energy releases in the nuclear fission reaction.
The kinetic energy of the nuclear fragments in the nuclear fission converts into thermal energy. This thermal energy is used to provide the heat to fuel. The energy of the fission utilizes in the commercial power reactor to heat up the fuel.
Conclusion:
Thus, the energy of fission in nuclear fission heats the fuel that drives the turbine in the commercial power reactor.
