Fission, the splitting of atoms, and fusion, the combination of atoms, both produce generally the same kinds of energy.
Some of the energy comes off as heat. The heated objects are the atoms involved and the alpha or beta particles emitted. The heat in this case can also be viewed as kinetic energy, indicating the speed of the particles. So this energy can be regarded as kinetic or thermal - at the sizes of object we are dealing with here, there is not much difference.
Some of the energy is emitted as gamma rays, which are highly energetic photons. This is electromagnetic energy.
Nuclear energy
this process is called fusion
The energy is called nuclear radiation, high energy particles and rays that are emitted by the nuclei of some atoms.

3 Helium nuclei combine to form a carbon nucleus,releasing light energy
Nuclear energy is energy obtained from changes within atomic nuclei. When light atoms combine to form heavier atoms (for example, deuterium is converted to helium), it is called "fusion". When heavy atoms (for example, uranium-235) split, it is called "fission".Nuclear energy is energy obtained from changes within atomic nuclei.

The sun's energy (and that of all other stars) comes from nuclear fusion. The nuclei of hydrogen atoms (ie protons) fuse together to produce helium and release energy.
nuclear energy
Nuclear energy
the energy stored inside the nuclei of atoms.
Nuclear fusion between nuclei of smaller atoms forms the nuclei of larger atoms and releases energy.
radioactive
this process is called fusion
The energy is called nuclear radiation, high energy particles and rays that are emitted by the nuclei of some atoms.
The energy is called nuclear radiation, high energy particles and rays that are emitted by the nuclei of some atoms.
That would be nuclear fusion, like what happens in stars, when two hydrogen nuclei combine to form a helium nucleus.
