In fission reactors, which are the only ones we have at present for useful power, energy is released by the fission of the nuclei of the nuclear fuel, usually uranium-235, but sometimes plutonium-239.

What energy is released in a nuclear reaction?
Nuclear Energy
The energy released by a fission or fusion reaction?
What is the question
Is there nuclear energy in nuclear bombs?
Yes, there is nuclear energy in nuclear bombs. It is released in a few microseconds when they are detonated.
The energy released from a nuclear power plant is released as?
From the nuclear reactor comes thermal energy (heat), which is then turned into electricity.
How energy released in nuclear energy?
When there is nuclear fusion (when atoms push together and make energy) and nuclear fission (when atoms split apart to make energy).
Is nuclear energy a chemical energy?
The energy released is nuclear energy.
What energy is released in a nuclear reaction?
Nuclear Energy
Is a nuclear fission a chemical energy?
The energy released is nuclear energy.
What is it when energy is released through fission or fusion?
Nuclear energy
The energy released by a fission or fusion reaction?
What is the question
Outline on nuclear energy?
Definition: energy from nuclear fission or fusion: the energy released by nuclear fission or fusion
Give definition for nuclear energy?
The energy released by either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion.
Is there nuclear energy in nuclear bombs?
Yes, there is nuclear energy in nuclear bombs. It is released in a few microseconds when they are detonated.
What makes up the energy released in a nuclear detonation?
nuclear binding energy
What form of energy does nuclear fission release?
Nuclear binding energy is released mostly as heat energy.
The energy released from a nuclear power plant is released as?
From the nuclear reactor comes thermal energy (heat), which is then turned into electricity.
Is nuclear energy released during nuclear fission?
Yes
