Energy is released during nuclear fission or fusion. The mass deficit (apparent loss of mass resulting from the reaction) is represented by a related (e = mc2) release of energy. Note, however, that neither mass nor energy is created or destroyed - it is simply moved from one frame of reference to another.

How do nuclear fusion differ fundamentally from nuclear fission?
Nuclear fusion doesn't produce energy.
Is solar energy nuclear fission or fusion?
The process generating solar energy is one of nuclear fusion.
How is nuclear energy and fusion energy different?
Nuclear energy as we use it now is from nuclear fission. Nuclear fusion is the joining up of nuclei rather than the splitting (fission), but it is not yet available on Earth.
What is it when energy is released through fission or fusion?
Nuclear energy
What isdifference nuclear fission and nuclear fission?
The difference between Fusion and Fission is that Fission is easier to do and produces more energy than fusion reactions. However fission can be dangerous and is used in Nuclear reactors. Fusion however is safer and produces less energy but safely. It is quite difficult to cause a Fusion reaction however.
Outline on nuclear energy?
Definition: energy from nuclear fission or fusion: the energy released by nuclear fission or fusion
How nuclear fusion differ to nuclear fission in terms of energy release?
Energy from nuclear fusion is around 400 times more than that of nuclear fission for same mass.
What happens in a nuclear bomb?
fission and/or fusion

Where do you get nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is obtained through fission and fusion reactions.

Fission and fusion are example of what kind of energy?
Nuclear energy.
Is fusion or fission the main energy source for stars?
Nuclear Fusion
How is the nuclear energy in use different from fusion energy?
Because it is a fission process, not fusion
