How did nuclear energy get its name?

"Nuclear" in nuclear energy refers to the nucleus of an atom. Nuclear energy is produced through the splitting (fission) or merging (fusion) of atomic nuclei, which releases a large amount of energy. The term "nuclear" distinguishes this type of energy production from other forms like chemical or mechanical.


What is the scientific name for nuclear energy?

The scientific term for nuclear energy is "nuclear power." This energy is produced through reactions in the atomic nucleus, specifically through processes like nuclear fission or fusion to generate heat that can be converted into electricity.


Name 5 different sources of heat?

We know that chemical, mechanical, electrical and nuclear phenomenon create thermal energy. Combustion (burning) is chemical, and we know that creates thermal energy. Mechanical action creates heat, and your vehicle's brakes know this well. Electrical energy can be used to create heat in resistive heating elements. Nuclear reactions result in a jump in the energy of atoms and molecules involved, and this is expressed as heat.
