Electrical energy
A nuclear power plant produces electrical (electromagnetic) energy, or what most call electricity or electric power.
nuclear energy?It should be any way~(=w=)
Not really. It depends on what you are trying to do. A nuclear power plant is a power plant that uses a nuclear reactor as its source of energy. A nuclear reactor, on the other hand, is a more generalized term for a device that uses nuclear energy (specifically the release of binding energy from the Strong Atomic Force) to do something. In the general case, we use the reactor to generate energy for the power plant to use in generating electricity. Sometimes, we use the reactor for other, research type things, such as generating a neutron flux to study the physics of nuclide activation.
The ultimate product of a nuclear power plant is binding energy, released as heat and radiation. The usual byproduct of that is steam, converted from water, which is used to spin turbines to turn generators to make electricity.

Nuclear energy is a type of potential energy, which depends on the forces between the nucleons (protons and neutrons). In other words, the energy is stored in the relationship between the particles.
