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.

Where can nuclear energy be used in Canada?
Nuclear energy is used in Canada primarily for electricity generation. Ontario is the largest user of nuclear energy, with over 60% of its electricity produced by nuclear power plants. There are also research reactors used for medical isotopes and academic research.
Where is the nuclear energy produced in a nuclear reactor?
Nuclear energy is produced in the core of a nuclear reactor, where controlled nuclear fission reactions occur. These reactions release heat energy, which is then used to generate electricity through steam turbines.
Is nuclear energy produced by the sunlight?
No, nuclear energy is not produced by sunlight. Nuclear energy is generated from the process of splitting atoms in a power plant, while sunlight produces solar energy through the fusion of hydrogen atoms in the sun.
Is nuclear energy stored?
Nuclear energy is not stored in the traditional sense, like electricity in a battery. Nuclear energy is generated through nuclear reactions in a nuclear reactor. The heat produced during these reactions can be converted into electricity and stored in the power grid.
Nuclear energy is energy?
Nuclear energy is energy produced through nuclear reactions in power plants. It is a reliable and efficient source of electricity with low carbon emissions, but there are concerns about nuclear waste disposal and the potential for accidents.
What chemicals are in nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is not produced by chemical reactions
What Energy produced by nuclear fusion .?
Fusion, like fission, produces its energy mostly in the form of heat. Since this applies to atoms, it can also be seen as kinetic energy.
What kind of nuclear energy is produced by hydrogen bombs and stars?
This is produced by nuclear fusion
What Is produced in nuclear energy in power?
Nuclear power stations collect nuclear energy, and produce heat energy and electrical energy.
