What was wrong with using plutonium as the source of nuclear energy?
Nothing is wrong; but plutonium is very toxic, radioactive - dangerous.
Why Einstein's mass energy relationship is wrong?
Exactly what part about it is wrong? The mass-energy equivalence is widely accepted in modern physics. What is wrong is the popular explanation that "mass is converted to energy" in a nuclear reaction. In fact, both mass and energy are conserved in this case.
What energy is the energy that is stored in an atoms nucleus?
If it is stored in the nucleus, it must be nuclear energy.
Nuclear energy is energy?
Yes, nuclear energy is energy.
Is energy conserved in a nuclear reaction?
Yes. Basically, energy is ALWAYS conserved. The popular saying, that in a nuclear reaction mass is converted to energy, is plainly wrong, since both mass and energy are conserved. Read about "mass deficit", for example in the Wikipedia, for more details.
What type of energy is a volcano erupting?
It might be nuclear energy, but I could be wrong.

Yes, nuclear energy is energy.
What is it when energy is released through fission or fusion?
Nuclear energy
Is fusion nuclear energy or chemical energy?
Nuclear fusion produces nuclear energy
Is nuclear energy a chemical energy?
The energy released is nuclear energy.
In a nuclear fusion reaction mass is transformed into?
It is often stated that mass is transformed to energy. This is wrong, since both mass and energy are conserved in a chemical reaction - or in a nuclear reaction. The Wikipedia article on "binding energy" clarifies this.

Yes. Basically, energy is ALWAYS conserved. The popular saying, that in a nuclear reaction mass is converted to energy, is plainly wrong, since both mass and energy are conserved. Read about "mass deficit", for example in the Wikipedia, for more details.
What is Uranium energy used for?
Uranium is used as nuclear fuel in nuclear reactors.
Where does nuclear energy come from to make renewable energy work?
Nuclear energy and renewable energy are not related. Renewable energy does not use nuclear energy.
