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?

Uranium is releasing energy every day, all over — and through — the Earth. It’s possible Earth’s core would have cooled by now if not for this natural radioactivity.
It’s just not enough for a self-sustaining chain reaction. You need lots of very pure uranium for that.
