KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -Nuclear energy is a form of energy released from the nucleus, the core of atoms, made up of protons and neutrons. This source of energy can be produced in two ways: fission – when nuclei of atoms split into several parts – or fusion – when nuclei fuse together.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nuclear energy is energy stored in the nucleus of an atom-the energy that holds the nucleus together. Large amounts of energy can be released when the nuclei are combined or split apart. Gravitational energy is energy stored in an object’s height.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are many forms of potential and kinetic energy. These include mechanical, chemical, thermal, electrical, radiant, and nuclear energy, as well as the energy of gravity.

Detailed explanation-4: -All nuclear power plants use nuclear fission, and most nuclear power plants use uranium atoms. During nuclear fission, a neutron collides with a uranium atom and splits it, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation.
