How does nuclear fission reactors work?
Won't splitting uranium result into barium as by products?
How come it is still uranium but not the usable kind.

I believe it is an isotope of uranium that just not as likely to decay and emit energy like other isotopes, That is one kind of Uranium has more neutrons than other uraniums. Uranium decay is complicated though.

this is the type of question that you can get answered by literally reading the wikipedia page
it is not uranium at the end. anything that undergoes fission is no longer uranium. any remaining uranium was not used up in the process (think: the last few drops of gas in your tank, level too low to get to the engine)
