Yes, and the simplest argument is that it is the most efficient energy so far, if you want something more efficient you would have to do something like release quantum energy, perhaps with protons and antiprotons, since they release energy in the form of photons.
You have to be retarded to think that a hydroelectric plant is more efficient.
In a hydroelectric power station, you catch kilometers and kilometers of water current, that kinetic energy of the current is transformed into mechanical energy from the cranks, which is transformed into mechanical energy, and then into electrical energy with a generator.
In nuclear energy, you take a handful of matter that reacts with another, and you make the heat released from the particles heat up the water deposits, this is thermal energy. These water tanks release steam at high pressure (kinetic energy), which turns cranks (mechanical energy) and the movement of that is transformed into electrical energy with a generator.
