Protons and neutrons together in the nucleus
an attractive force that acts between protons and neutrons
The energy is obtained from the Strong Nuclear Force, which binds the atomic nucleus together, not the Electromagnetic Force, which binds electrons to the atom. The Strong force is about 1000 times stronger than the Electromagnetic force, therefore can provide about 1000 times the energy of a chemical reaction/explosion using a similar mass of fuel.
The electrostatic force is attractive between unlike charges, and repulsive between like charges.
The force binding the nucleus of an atom is the strongest fundamental force in nature. There are four fundamental forces in nature. These are the electromagnetic force gravity, the strong nuclear force, and the weak nuclear force. Of these, the strong nuclear force, which binds together the nucleons (neutrons and protons) of atoms, is by far the strongest. It is over 100 times as strong as the electromagnetic force, which, in turn, is far stronger than gravity or the weak nuclear force.

That is the strong nuclear force.
The strong nuclear force, aka the strong interaction.
an attractive force that acts between protons and neutrons
Strong nuclear force is the force that keeps the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. Being stronger than the electromagnetic force at very close distances, the strong nuclear force prevents the protons from repelling. Even more fundamentally, the strong nuclear force binds quarks together, which are the fundamental constituents of protons and neutrons.

The strong interaction, also known as the strong nuclear force or the strong force. This force is about 100 times stronger than the electromagnetic force that would be repelling the protons away from each other.
The strong nuclear force affects matter by "building" it. Matter as we generally know it is composed of atoms. Atoms are built from protons, neutrons and electrons, and protons and neutrons are built from quarks. It is the strong nuclear force that binds the quarks and gluons together to make up the protons and neutrons. This is a straight forward way to explain how the strong nuclear force (strong interaction) affects matter.
The electrostatic force is attractive between unlike charges, and repulsive between like charges.
Protons and neutrons are held together by the strong nuclear force, they have an attraction towards each other that overpowers the electromagnetic force that repels them. This strong interaction, as it is also known, only works over short distances, microscopic to be exact.

This is mainly related to the attractive forces between the nucleons - by the strong nuclear force.
