Uranium-235 has the property of undergoing fission (splitting) when it absorbs another neutron, and this fission releases energy in the form of heat. Energy cannot be put back into the uranium, it is a one-way process which destroys the uranium nucleus and forms other lighter elements.

the energy stored in uranium is nuclear energy. this is technicly true of all emements but uranium is used because it is "fissionable" meaning that it can undergo "fission". fission is a nuclear reaction.

Under nuclear fission with thermal neutrons uranium release an enormous quantity of energy (202,5 MeV per one atom of 235U); the obtained heat is converted in electricity.

The energy in the atomic nucleus is derived from the binding forces between nucleons.

Energy is released from the uranium atoms by nuclear fission. When uranium reacts with other atoms it creates a nuclear fission which means they heat into each other, creating heat and more atoms. The new atoms then go flying off into other atoms creating more atoms and then they fly off and create more atoms.

In what is called binding energy. Atoms both heavier and lighter than nickel & iron have excess binding energy that can potentially be released in nuclear reactions.
