Because it is energy derived from the heat made by a (Hopefully) controlled nuclear reaction. The nuclear reaction involves the nucleus of Uranium 235 (or possibly Plutonium 239) fissioning or splitting which releases a large amount of energy, so it is a nuclear process, not a chemical one such as would occur between atoms or molecules.

What energy is the energy that is stored in an atoms nucleus?
If it is stored in the nucleus, it must be nuclear energy.
The energy released by a fission or fusion reaction?
What is the question
Why is the nuclear energy called nuclear energy?
Because it comes entirely from the Atomic Nucleus.
Fission and fusion is an example of what kind of energy?
One type of atom (element or isotope) is converted to another. This is called nuclear reaction.
What is the energy stored in the center of an atom?
nuclear energy
What energy is the energy that is stored in an atoms nucleus?
If it is stored in the nucleus, it must be nuclear energy.
What type of energy does nuclear have?
That is called nuclear energy.
What is it when energy is released through fission or fusion?
Nuclear energy
Atoms are merged to produce this type of energy?
Nuclear energy.When the atoms are merged, the nuclear energy is a result of what is called Nuclear Fusion. When the atoms are split, the nuclear energy is a result of what is called Nuclear Fission.
The energy released by a fission or fusion reaction?
What is the question
Why is the nuclear energy called nuclear energy?
Because it comes entirely from the Atomic Nucleus.
What energy stored in the center of atoms is called what energy?
Nuclear energy. (Centre of an atom → nucleus → nuclear)
What is a nuclear weapon in wich enormous energy is released by nuclear fission?
This nuclear weapon is called an atomic bomb or a nuclear bomb
What is Atomic energy is called?
nuclear energy
