If atoms are radioactive, they can emit alpha,beta, or gamma radiation. The energy of the particles or rays emitted depends on the exact isotopes concerned, and varies widely from one to another.

How can a uranium atom be made to release nuclear energy?
Every atom contains nuclear energy inside it. That nuclear energy can be released by splitting the atom. The uranium atom is one of the ones that is easier to split. Usually to release the nuclear energy atoms are collided with each other which breaks them releasing the nuclear energy. This is done in a machine called a particle accelerator in which atoms are fired at near the speed of light and when they collide and split they release nuclear energy. I Hope that answers your question.
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
What is the difference between nuclear energy and thermal energy?
Thermal energy is the kinetic energy of the particles, while nuclear energy is the bond energy within the nucleus from strong interaction and weak interaction.
________ energy is the total kinetic and potential energy of the particles in an object.?
In microscopic particles it's called internal energy. In macroscopic particles it's called thermodynamic energy.
What is the release of nuclear particles and energy?
Radioactivity
The energy holding nuclear particles together is called?
The Strong Force.
What is energy stored in the nucleus of an atom called?
Binding energy. and some is even stored in particles, such as the neutron which has a half-life of about ten minutes before it disintegrates with the release of energy.
The energy and particles given off during a nuclear reaction are called?
Radiation
A process in which atomic nuclei of unstable isotopes release fast-moving particles and energy?
Nuclear fission
What is the power produced by splitting uranium atoms to release their energy called?
The nuclear energy
What is the collective name of high energy particles and rays given off by the nuclei of atoms?
The energy is called nuclear radiation, high energy particles and rays that are emitted by the nuclei of some atoms.

When uranium atoms split what is it called?
This phenomenon is called nuclear fission.Nuclear fission of uranium-235 release a huge energy.
What type of energy does nuclear have?
That is called nuclear energy.
