And if splitting atom releases energy, why haven’t these energy break from their atom themselves? Isn’t that means the force that bind the atoms are bigger than the energy released?

Natural oar is stable because it hasn’t been enriched. Also enriched uranium or plutonium don’t just get set off. You have to start the chain reaction and it is very difficult.

You couldn’t set it off by lighting it in fire or throwing it in the ground. It takes a lot.
