Energy comes from either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion. Each nuclear reaction has unique characteristics, and there are answered questions here that can enlighten an investigator as to the particulars.
One type of atom (element or isotope) is converted to another. This is called nuclear reaction.
some type of exploding gas!
A nuclear chain reaction nuclear fission
An erg is a unit of energy equal to 10-7 joules.
fusion nuclear reaction followed by fission nuclear reaction
The general term for a chemical reaction that releases heat is an exothermic reaction. The energy released is called enthalpy.A reaction that releases energy is called an exothermic reaction.

Heat energy is released in an exothermic chemicalreaction.
The reaction in which energy is being released, and the overall energy change (enthalpy) is negative.

Chemical energy is released during a chemical reaction.
This process is know as nuclear fusion, and it produces heat which can be used to convert water into steam for the purpose of mechanical energy production via a turbine in a nuclear fusion reactors.
Nuclear fission is a type of nuclear reaction in which the nucleus is split into two or more parts, releasing excess binding energy that is available due to the negative slope (for high mass nuclides) of the binding energy per nucleon curve. See the Related Link below for more information.
