Other names for nuclear energy include atomic energy, nuclear power, and atomic power.


What is Atomic energy is called?

nuclear energy


This is also known as atomic energy?

The source of atomic energy is the "binding energy" that exists in the nucleus of all atoms. This is the energy that is contained in the union of the protons and neutrons of the nucleus. When the nucleus is split apart, the binding energy is released.


Relating to atomic energy?

Atomic energy is the energy released from splitting (nuclear fission) or combining (nuclear fusion) atoms. It is used in nuclear power plants to generate electricity and in nuclear weapons for explosive purposes. The use of atomic energy has both benefits, such as providing a relatively clean energy source, and concerns, such as nuclear accidents and nuclear proliferation.


What is difference between atomic energy and nuclear energy?

Atomic energy is really a misnomer for nuclear energy. It is the fissioning of the nucleus which causes energy to be released. At the atomic level we are dealing with chemical reactions, but in the early days people did talk of atomic power and atomic bombs.


What are some sources for atomic energy?

Nuclear Energy


How is the atomic bomb nuclear?

It gets its energy from the atomic nucleus.


What is related to an atomic energy?

Atomic energy is related to the process of nuclear fission or fusion, where energy is released by splitting or combining atomic nuclei. This energy can be harnessed for power generation in nuclear reactors, for medical applications such as cancer treatment using radiation therapy, and in nuclear weapons.

Were do you get nuclear energy?

You get nuclear energy from the binding energy (Strong Atomic Force) that holds the nucleus together.
