The nuclear fission results in loss of mass (or mass defect) that transforms into energy according to formula E = mc2 (c is light velocity). The resulting energy manifests itself as heat energy that produces steam. The steam spins the turbines that spins electric generators and hence producing electricity.
A nuclear bomb or atomic bomb
This nuclear weapon is called an atomic bomb or a nuclear bomb
The release of excess binding energy.
Uranium-235 react with thermal neutrons in a nuclear reaction called fission. The enormous energy released by the nuclear fission can be transformed in electricity and heat in nuclear reactors.
Definition: energy from nuclear fission or fusion: the energy released by nuclear fission or fusion
The heat released by nuclear fission is transformed in electrical energy.
The energy released is nuclear energy.
During the detonation of a nuclear bomb an enormous amount of energy is released as fission due to the splitting (fissioning) of atoms of uranium or plutonium. In the case of a simple nuclear weapon (such as those dropped on Japan during World War 2) this is where the explosion stops. In the case of a hydrogen bomb, also referred to as a thermonuclear weapon, the energy released by the fission is used to trigger the fusion of atoms of hydrogen, releasing energy in the same way that the sun produces energy.
Yes
The energy released by either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion.
nuclear fission
Fission bombs. They use one or more of 3 fuels: Uranium-233, Uranium-235, or Plutonium-239.
