Nuclear energy is mostly produced in the nucleus of the atom, by the release of binding energy (Strong Atomic Force) which holds the nucleus together.

By the processes of fission and fusion, atoms are split or combined, with the result that they lose a small amount of mass. That small loss of mass is represented by Einstein's famous mass-energy equivalence equation e = mc2 as energy, about 9 x 1016 joules per kilogram, using the CGS units that Einstein used. The equation is unit consistent, however, and will work in any system of units.
