The energy in a nuclear reaction comes from the release of some of the residual binding energy that holds the nucleus together. When you split heavy isotopes, such as uranium-235, or when you fuse light isotopes, such as hydrogen-2, the total binding energy required is reduced by a small amount. This difference is released as heat and radiation.

The suns own energy comes from solar energy?
The sun's own energy comes from nuclear reaction within the sun
In a nuclear reaction what type of reaction provides the power?
Energy comes from either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion. Each nuclear reaction has unique characteristics, and there are answered questions here that can enlighten an investigator as to the particulars.
What fuel is used in nuclear power plants?
A nuclear reactor is a device to initiate, control, and sustain a nuclear chain reaction. Nuclear power is energy produced from controlled nuclear reactions. When it comes to just standard fuel across the table it would have to be: Plutonium, Uranium, and Thorium.
Why is the nuclear energy called nuclear energy?
Because it comes entirely from the Atomic Nucleus.
What is the origin of nuclear energy?
There are two major types of nuclear energy, fusion and fission. Fusion comes from hydrogen nuclei sticking together in the hearts of stars, which liberates energy. Fission energy comes from the splitting of heavy nuclei. A third type of nuclear energy comes from the slow decay of unstable isotopes, most generally through the release of alpha or beta particles. Both of these are the result of a transmutation of the isotope. Fissionable isotopes are produced naturally in supernova.
The suns own energy comes from solar energy?
The sun's own energy comes from nuclear reaction within the sun
Define Q-value of a nuclear reaction?
Q- value is a deterministic factor for the possibility of nuclear reaction. it is the difference of rest masses of the product and reactant of the reaction, and if it comes positive this means some energy added for the reaction to happen, and if it comes negative then the reaction will progress with the emission of energy.
Is all nuclear energy produced the same way?
All useful nuclear energy produced on Earth comes from nuclear fission of U-235 and/or Pu-239, in a variety of different reactor designs. In the stars it comes from fusion of hydrogen, not fission.
In a nuclear reaction what type of reaction provides the power?
Energy comes from either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion. Each nuclear reaction has unique characteristics, and there are answered questions here that can enlighten an investigator as to the particulars.
Does 68 percent of eletrical energy in the united States produced by nuclear fuel?
No. Only about 20% of the nations energy comes from nuclear fission.
When a nuclear fission reaction occurs an enormous amount of energy is released This energy comes from?
The release of excess binding energy.
What is the relationship between solar energy produced by the sun to nuclear energy your facilities use?
Energy produced in the sun arises from nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei, whilst nuclear energy used in power plants comes from fission of uranium nuclei. They are very different.
Why is the power produced by nuclear weapons so great?
the energy comes from the strong nuclear force, which is almost unbelievably powerful.
What fuel is used in nuclear power plants?
A nuclear reactor is a device to initiate, control, and sustain a nuclear chain reaction. Nuclear power is energy produced from controlled nuclear reactions. When it comes to just standard fuel across the table it would have to be: Plutonium, Uranium, and Thorium.
Connection between nuclear reaction to global warming?
I don't think there is any connection, apart from the fact that the sun's energy comes from nuclear fusion
What kind of energy is produced when particle of metal are split into two?
Nuclear energy is released when uranium or plutonium nuclei are fissioned (split). Not clear what you mean by "particle", but nuclear energy only comes from a nuclear process, not a mechanical or chemical one.
Where The sun energy come from?
The sun generates its energy via nuclear fusion of hydrogen at the solar core into helium. This energy is sent outward in the form of solar radiation.
