strong force
Reactions that involve nuclei, called nuclear reactions, result in a tremendous amount of energy. Two types are fission and fusion.
Nuclear reactions.
This took a lot of effort by various research establishments, notably Oak Ridge and Los Alamos during WW2, and after that by others including Harwell in the UK.
This will vary widely and be proportional to yield.

The sun shines because the fusion reactions taking place there release a tremendous amount of energy. And light, which is electromagnetic energy, is released in great quantities. The brightness of the sun speaks to the amount of power it generates.
Nuclear reactions.
In nuclear reactions, energy is usually released. This energy is released as an electromagnetic wave. Because of the large amount of energy involved, this wave has a high frequency/energy - a gamma ray.

An insignificant amount of plutonium exists in nature. Mostly, plutonium is obtained from nuclear reactions caused by humans.
Large amount of energy and extra neutrons are released
This will vary widely and be proportional to yield.
