Nuclear energy is the energy in the nucleus, or core, of an atom. Atoms are tiny units that make up all matter in the universe. Energy is what holds the nucleus together. There is a huge amount of power in an atom's dense nucleus. Nuclear energy is seen when nuclear fusions or fissions happen.

Nuclear energy is energy that is released through nuclear reactions, either by splitting atoms (nuclear fission) or combining them (nuclear fusion). This energy can be harnessed to generate electricity in nuclear power plants.
