yes. If they ever perfect hydrogen fusion reactors, then maybe someone will have to come up with a clearer description, but until now, they are the same.

Is nuclear reactors and nuclear energy the same thing?
Nuclear energy is released when U-235 undergoes fission, and that takes place in nuclear reactors (or nuclear weapons). So a reactor is a thing constructed to produce nuclear energy.
What is better nuclear or atomic energy?
Nuclear energy and atomic energy are the same thing.
Is the atomic bomb the same thing as the nuclear missile?
No. A nuclear missile is a rocket of some kind with an atomic/nuclear bomb as its warhead.
What is the nuclear weapon greater than the atomic bomb?
They are both the same thing.
Is a nuclear power plant same as nuclear power station?
Yes, it generally is but a nuclear plant could refer to nuclear reactors which are basically the things that produce the power. So in essence, yes, a nuclear plant is the same thing as a nuclear power station
What is the same between nuclear and breeder reactors?
They all use nuclear fission
What is stronger a nuclear or an atomic bomb?
Actually, niether because they are both the same thing.
Does nuclear reactors and breeder reactors have any similarities?
They're mostly the same, except that nuclear reactors aimed at breeding more fissile material use expensive primary coolant instead of cheap water.
Usefulness of nuclear energy related to atomic energy?
Nuclear energy provides about 20 percent of US electricity, so it is useful. Atomic energy is the same thing, but is now an obsolete term, we use nuclear energy as the description now.
Was an atomic bomb the same as being in the nuclear age?
No, they are not the same. The atomic bomb was a specific weapon developed during World War II, while the nuclear age refers to the period starting from when nuclear technology and weapons became a significant part of global affairs, which continued past the use of the atomic bomb.
What is difference between atomic energy and nuclear energy?
Atomic energy is really a misnomer for nuclear energy. It is the fissioning of the nucleus which causes energy to be released. At the atomic level we are dealing with chemical reactions, but in the early days people did talk of atomic power and atomic bombs.
What do two different neutral isotopes of the same element have in common nuclear number atomic mass nuclear mass atomic number?
The atomic number is the same for all isotopes.
