Best Answer
Nuclear is formed either by:
  1. Fission of heavy nuclei
  2. Fusion of light nuclei
  3. Radioactive decay of unstable nuclei
Nuclear energy results from the mass defect (either due to fission, fusion, or radioactive decay) change into kinetic energy that is changed into thermal energy (producing steam) then to mechanical energy then to electric energy.
