Nuclear energy is simply electricity produced by a nuclear reactor, which is just a different way to heat steam to turn a turbine.
It is the same as normal electricity, actually it IS normal electricity.

Can nuclear energy be used everywhere?
Yes. There are virtually no physical limitations to where nuclear power can be used. Nuclear reactors have already been used on land, air and sea... and submerged and in space. Not only we humans use nuclear energy, but it is the primary source of energy in natural processess in the world too. Life on earth depends on the sun's energy, which in part is produced by nuclear fusion in the heart of the star.
Can nuclear power plants produce material that could be converted?
Nuclear energy is released from the nucleus when U235 fissions, it appears initially as kinetic energy of the fission fragments, these are then stopped in the fuel material and turned to thermal energy. We can't use the nuclear energy directly.
How could nuclear energy which is normally classified as nonrenewable be reclassified as inexhaustible?

How widely is nuclear energy used?
There are 104 operating nuclear reactors in the US and at least 400 world wide.
How nuclear energy is transform into electricity?
The nuclear substance heats water which evaporates and drives turbines which power generators.
What is Uranium energy used for?
Uranium is used as nuclear fuel in nuclear reactors.
Is magnesium used for nuclear energy?
Magnesium is not used in the nuclear energy.
Could nuclear energy be used at home?
It could, but the inefficiency and huge risks mean it shouldn't.
Is nuclear energy and nuclear fuel different?
Nuclear fuel is the fuel used to produce nuclear energy.
What are some ways in which nuclear energy maybe used more efficiently and economically in the Caribbean?
I don't see any reason to think nuclear energy could be used more efficiently there than elsewhere
How are Nuclear energy transformed into usable energy?
Nuclear energy is used to produce steam. This steam used to rotate turbines
How are nuclear energy used?
Saying nuclear energy is like saying Norwegian furniture. Nuclear power/energy is used everywhere, in 2009 20% of all electricity in the US was nuclear origin.
What nuclear reaction is currently used to produce nuclear energy in nuclear reactors?
We use nuclear fission in nuclear reactors to tap nuclear energy.
What happens to nuclear energy before it is used?
Nuclear energy is released as heat in the fuel of a nuclear reactor, but only when the reactor has been brought to criticality and the chain reaction started. At that point the heat must be used, it can't be stored and used later. Before criticality is established, the reactor is shutdown and producing no nuclear heat from fission, so you could regard it as having potential nuclear energy in that state
How does nuclear energy help with robots?
No, nuclear energy is only used to make electricity
Nuclear energy that is used to power nuclear powerplants?
Nuclear energy generated by nuclear fissions of nuclear fuels.
What are the relationships between electrical energy and nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is used to produce electrical energy, but there is no direct relationship
