Nuclear energy is the release of binding energy (the strong atomic force) by either the fissioning of atoms or by the fusioning of atoms. Both of these processes result in a loss of mass that is represented by a tremendous increase of heat (energy) due to the famous Einstein equation e = mc2.
Nuclear Energy (noun):
1. The energy released by a nuclear reaction, especially by fission or fusion.
2. Nuclear energy regarded as a source of power. Also called atomic energy
(Sources: http://www.thefreedictionary.com)
"is and"? Nuclear energy is that released by the fission (breakdown) or the fusion of atomic nuclei. The energy used in nuclear power plants is heat emanating from the fission of an unstable isotope of Uranium.
Experiments in extracting power from nuclear fusion of Hydrogen to Helium - the main physiology of a star - have been conducted for decades now but so far it has remained extremely difficult and elusive, with more power been expended in running the reactor than is extracted from it.
Blood vessels which carry blood from the capillaries toward the heart
energy produced from the splitting of atoms.
NUCLEAR energy is the bond between protons, not atoms
There is no appropriate definition of energy on the list that follows the question.
Energy stored in atomic nuclei that can be transformed into other forms of energy by complex power plants.
Nuclear fusion is the source of the sun's energy.
Yes, radioactive decay results in the release of nuclear energy. The radioactive decay of an atom is the result of changes in the atom's nucleus, so energy released will be nuclear energy by definition.
Energy is formed and released following destruction of mass, E=mc2
The energy released by either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion.
Definition: energy from nuclear fission or fusion: the energy released by nuclear fission or fusion
energy derived from the atomic nucleus

Yes, atomic energy was the term used up to the 50's, then nuclear energy became the normal term, it is more correct.
A nuclear reaction in which a heavy nucleus splits spontaneously or on impact with another particle, with the release of energy.
Energy stored in atomic nuclei that can be transformed into other forms of energy by complex power plants.
Yes, that's correct. Specifically, by nuclear fusion.
Nuclear energy is the release of binding energy (the strong atomic force) by either the fissioning of atoms or by the fusioning of atoms. Both of these processes result in a loss of mass that is represented by a tremendous increase of heat (energy) due to the famous Einstein equation e = mc2.
Nuclear energy is the only energy that the human body does not produce.
Nuclear fusion is the source of the sun's energy.
