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?

Nuclear explosions require a lot of energy to start the chain reaction that leads to the huge explosion. In a nuclear bomb, the first thing that happens is a conventional non-nuclear bomb is detonated to compress the uranium. This type of energy release is very unlikely to happen spontaneously in nature, in a uranium deposit.
