As usual these get inter-twined. Nuclear energy originates from the nucleus, when U235 fissions or splits, energy is released because the resulting products have lost mass, and energy = mass x c2. This energy appears as kinetic energy of the fission fragments, and to a smaller extent as a gamma ray. The fission fragments recoil and their kinetic energy is lost and appears as thermal energy in the uranium fuel. The gamma is also absorbed in the reactor.
So it is basically a potential energy, but you can regard all mass as a potential energy through E = mc2.
It is potential energy, since it is work done against a force - the nuclear force mainly.

Magnetic energy is a type of potential energy. It is stored in magnetic fields, and its energy can be converted into kinetic energy when the magnetic field interacts with other objects or particles.
Technicly, it should be kinetic energy, right? The way that it happens is that the particules are moving and hitting each other.
Magnetic energy is its own type of energy.
It is potential energy, since it is work done against a force - the nuclear force mainly.
Potential Energy
Things can contain different forms of energy, such as kinetic energy (energy of motion), potential energy (stored energy), thermal energy (heat), chemical energy (stored in chemical bonds), and electrical energy (movement of electrons). The specific type of energy a thing contains depends on its properties and the interactions happening within it.
The greatest type of energy at the bottom of a swing's path is kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. The potential energy at the top of the swing is converted to kinetic energy as the swing reaches the bottom of its arc.
The boulder falling through the air has kinetic energy. This is the energy possessed by an object in motion.
When a ball is falling through the air, it has both kinetic and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is the energy stored due to the ball's position relative to the ground. As the ball falls, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
Electrical energy ; ) and potential, kinetic, magnetic, or heat energies
Kinetic and potential energy are types of mechanical energy.
kinetic
Kinetic and potential energy are a type of energy, not a measurement of distance.
Chemical energy is a type of potential energy stored in the bonds of molecules. When these bonds are broken and rearranged during a chemical reaction, the potential energy is converted into other forms of energy such as heat or light.
Kinetic
If potential energy is not converted into kinetic energy (or into any other type of energy) then it remains potential. Potential energy does not expire.
Potential Energy
Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy.
A piano primarily stores potential energy in the form of mechanical energy when its keys are lifted. When a key is pressed, this potential energy is converted into sound energy as the hammer strikes the strings, producing sound vibrations.
Gravitational energy is the potential energyassociated with the gravitational field.
In one sense, energy is energy, it can neither be created nor destroyed. Energy exists as Heat, Light, Potential (stored), Kinetic (movement) or Chemical. Kinetic energy is the energy of a mocing object. Heat is really another form of Kinetic energy as it is really the amount of movement of atoms ina given substance. LIght is electromagnetic radiation. Potential energy is the energy stored in, say, an object at the top of a mountain, Chemical energy is energy that will be released during a chemical reaction (until then it is stored in the chemicals),Another type of energy is mechanical energy. An example is your hand moving across the paper.
