The "lost" mass during the fission of uranium-235 is converted into energy according to Einstein's equation, (E=mc^2). This energy is released in the form of kinetic energy of the fission products, as well as radiation, heat, and neutrinos. This mass-energy conversion is a fundamental principle of nuclear reactions and is responsible for the immense energy produced in nuclear fission.
