Explanation

In nuclear fission, the majority of the energy released appears as the kinetic energy of the fission fragments (fission products), which are the heavy nuclei produced by the splitting of the original nucleus. Other forms such as neutron kinetic energy, gamma radiation, and radioactive decay contribute less to the total energy output.
