That's not how nuclear weapons work. They either don't release any energy or release it all at once. There's no throttle on them.

That's not true, they either acheive *critical mass* or don't.

Nuclear reactors wouldn't be a thing if critical mass was required to get heat from nuclear material.

You could take out the nuclear material and use it to heat your home, it would just be a very, very, *very* bad idea to do so.
