Detailed explanation-1: -Nuclear energy is the energy in the nucleus, or core, of an atom. Nuclear energy can be used to create electricity, but it must first be released from the atom.
Detailed explanation-2: -Atomic nuclei consist of electrically positive protons and electrically neutral neutrons. These are held together by the strongest known fundamental force, called the strong force. The nucleus makes up much less than . 01% of the volume of the atom, but typically contains more than 99.9% of the mass of the atom.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hence, energy stored in the nucleus of atoms is called nuclear energy.
Detailed explanation-4: -Nuclear Potential Energy Store-The nucleus of an atom stores energy that can be released in Nuclear Reactions. Gravitational Potential Energy Store-An object in a gravitational field stores energy.
