In a fission process, maximum percentage of energy is released as

Fission is the splitting of an atomic nucleus into two or more lighter nuclei accompanied by energy release.

The energy of nuclear fission is released as kinetic energy of the fission products and fragments, and as electromagnetic radiation in the form of gamma rays; in a nuclear reactor, the energy is converted to heat as the particles and gamma rays collide with the atoms that make up the reactor and its working fluid, usually water or occasionally heavy water or molten salts.
