A nuclear bomb
or atomic bomb
This nuclear weapon is called an atomic bomb or a nuclear bomb
The release of excess binding energy.
Uranium-235 react with thermal neutrons in a nuclear reaction called fission. The enormous energy released by the nuclear fission can be transformed in electricity and heat in nuclear reactors.
During the detonation of a nuclear bomb an enormous amount of energy is released as fission due to the splitting (fissioning) of atoms of uranium or plutonium. In the case of a simple nuclear weapon (such as those dropped on Japan during World War 2) this is where the explosion stops. In the case of a hydrogen bomb, also referred to as a thermonuclear weapon, the energy released by the fission is used to trigger the fusion of atoms of hydrogen, releasing energy in the same way that the sun produces energy.
Definition: energy from nuclear fission or fusion: the energy released by nuclear fission or fusion
The heat released by nuclear fission is transformed in electrical energy.
The energy released is nuclear energy.
Nuclear fission of uranium-235 release fission energy.The fission energy is enormous compared to the energy obtained from fossil fuels.
Nuclear energy
Yes
Plutonium is the core of a nuclear weapon; the nuclear fission release an enormous quantity of energy and radiations.
Nuclear energy generated by nuclear fissions of nuclear fuels.
