Your question has 2 parts:
- Assuming that 1 neutron starts the chain reaction, each generation takes 10ns, each fission produces 2.5 neutrons on average, and the chain reaction lasts 1us; the total fissions = 100000
- Nuclear energy to kinetic energy to heat energy.

Can energy change into mass?
No. Energy has an ASSOCIATED mass. There is no such thing as mass-to-energy conversion, or energy-to-mass conversion. In a nuclear reaction, for example, BOTH mass and energy are CONSERVED. For a more detailed explanation, check the Wikipedia article on "binding energy".
How does a dynamite explosion convert chemical energy to mechanical energy?
The chemical reaction causes heat, which causes the material to expand and result in an explosion.
What kind of energy conversions takes place in a nuclear bomb explosion?
Nuclear mass --> energy conversion is most of it. Conventional explosives start it.
Turning off unused lights is an example of what kind of energy?
Turning off unused lights is an example of Energy Conversion. Energy conversion is the process of chaning one form of energy to another.
What is an example of chemical energy to electric energy?
The example of conversion of chemical energy to electrical energy is the process occurring in the batteries.

What do fission of uranium produce?
Uranium fission creates a chain reaction that initiates a chain reaction that grows exponentially into a massive conversion of the potential energy inside the uranium atom into kinetic energy in the form of an explosion - a nuclear explosion. These are the bombs that ended WW2. Today we can split H atoms, which release significantly more energy.

What do you call it when you release energy quickly?
This is an exothermic reaction.
How does a dynamite explosion convert chemical energy to mechanical energy?
The chemical reaction causes heat, which causes the material to expand and result in an explosion.
What is an energy conversion that involves chemical energy?
A chemical reaction. Also photosynthesis.
What is the chemical reaction involve in the explosion of fireworks?
Gun powder and kinetic energy
Is a waterfall a example of kinetic energy?
It is an example of conversion of potential energy (at the top) into kinetic energy (at the bottom).
What kind of energy conversions takes place in a nuclear bomb explosion?
Nuclear mass --> energy conversion is most of it. Conventional explosives start it.

Turning off unused lights is an example of Energy Conversion. Energy conversion is the process of chaning one form of energy to another.
What is an example of conversations or transformation energy?
Electric motor is an example of conversion of energy. Electric generator is another example.
