How does energy in a nuclear reaction get created?

A nuclear reactor produces and controls the release of energy from splitting the atoms of uranium. 

Uranium-fuelled nuclear power is a clean and efficient way of boiling water to make steam which drives turbine generators. Except for the reactor itself, a nuclear power station works like most coal or gas-fired power stations.

P.S

Happy to help you have an AWESOME!!! day ^-^

a electronegativity decreases beacuse the size of nucleus is bigger.
