In a nuclear fission reactor it is formed by the splitting of nuclei (U-235 or Pu-239) into two smaller parts. This happens within the fuel rods which make up the fuel assemblies. In the stars it is formed by nuclear fusion, which is quite different and does not happen on Earth.

∙ 10y agoNuclear energy is formed through:
- nuclear fission, or
- nuclear fusion, or
- radioactive decay.
Nuclear fission is the splitting of heavy nuclei (as U-235) when bombarded by neutrons. The nuclear fusion is the combination of two lighter nuclei into one nucleus. Both nuclear fission and nuclear fusion result 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 could be extracted and made use of as process heat, kinetic energy, and/or electricity.

How is a nuclear energy formed and used?
Nuclear is formed either by: Fission of heavy nucleiFusion of light nucleiRadioactive decay of unstable nucleiNuclear 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.
Production of this type of energy involves fission?
Energy is formed and released following destruction of mass, E=mc2
What energy is the energy that is stored in an atoms nucleus?
If it is stored in the nucleus, it must be nuclear energy.
Why was nuclear energy created?
Humans did not create nuclear energy, it was created shortly after the big bang when the first stars formed and began fusing hydrogen into helium. Later supernova explosions created elements up to uranium, which we can use as fuel in nuclear reactors and nuclear bombs.
What is a energy created by the sun?
In a Word; Radiant. This radiant energy is produced by Nuclear Fusion. Solar Energy does many things.
Can nuclear energy convert into solar energy?
Solar energy is formed by nuclear fusion in the sun
Which form of energy are similar in how they were formed?
Nuclear and Geothermal
How this energy formed?
Energy hasn't been formed since the creation of matter. However, energy is present in atoms and can be released during chemical or nuclear reactions.
What is the most massive element that can be formed by nuclear fusion with the liberation of energy?
iron
The sun's own energy comes from solar energy?
Yes, and it is formed from the process called nuclear fusion. The sun's own energy comes from nuclear reactions taking place in the sun's core.

Sun's energy is formed of what of energy?
The hydrogen in the Sun has nuclear energy (a type of potential energy). When this is fused, it is converted to heat energy. This eventually gets radiated out as light energy.
How is nuclear energy created or formed?
Uranium formed in supernova explosions. Hydrogen has been in the universe since milliseconds after the big bang.
How does the sun radiate energy?
The sun radiates energy through nuclear fusion. This causes helium atoms to be formed which then become excess energy that moves into space.
What energy is the energy that is stored in an atoms nucleus?
If it is stored in the nucleus, it must be nuclear energy.
Why was nuclear energy created?
