Please see the related question linked below.
nuclear fusion
No. Nor can you convert mass into energy. In any reaction - including nuclear reactions - both the amount of mass and the amount of energy remain the same, before and after the reaction. For example, the energy that escapes from a nuclear reaction also has a corresponding mass. On the other hand, the energy existed before the reaction as well, in the form of (nuclear) potential energy.
Nuclear Energy
What is the question
Nuclear energy
Yes.
Electrical energy, in the triggering and fuzing mechanisms. Chemical energy, in the form of conventional explosives used to trigger the chain reaction. Nuclear energy, in the form of fissionable or fusable nuclear materials.

Nuclear Energy
Nuclear energy is either:fission reaction, orfusion reaction, orradioactive decay
What is the question
Nuclear energy
fusion nuclear reaction followed by fission nuclear reaction
Nuclear fusion refers to a nuclear reaction wherein two light nuclei fuse to form a heavier nucleus. This process releases energy.
We use nuclear fission in nuclear reactors to tap nuclear energy.
A change from one form of matter to another, with the release of large amounts of energy.
