If you're considering nuclear energy, then nuclear power is generated by nuclear fission, generally with radioactive bombardment. Basically, atoms are split into smaller components and release energy, and we use that to generate steam for electric power.

Nuclear power is made from the release of binding energy in the atom, either by fission (the current, practical way) or by fusion (the way of the Sun, but not yet established as a viable option for us).

Nuclear fuels are usually made of one of the two following components: Uranium 235 or Plutonium. Uranium needs to be refined (throw away U238 in order to obtain solely U235) before being used in bombs or generators.
