They're called atomic orbitals, and are explained through the use of quantum mechanics.
The Atomic Energy Act of 1946 created a group called the Atomic Energy Committee. The AEC essentially overlooked and controlled nuclear development in both commercial and military organizations.

That is called fission.
The strong force holds atomic nuclei together.
Splitting atoms is called fission.

Nuclear and atomic energy are terms that are often used interchangeably to refer to the same type of energy generated by splitting atoms in a process called nuclear fission. Both terms are typically used to describe the same type of energy generation.
