nuclear energy
Nuclear energy is the energy released during nuclear reactions (fission or fusion) in which atomic nuclei are split apart or combined, converting a small amount of the mass directly into energy following Einstein’s theory of relativity (E=mc²). The energy produced in nuclear power plants comes from nuclear fission where heavy elements like uranium or plutonium are split into lighter elements, generating a large amount of heat, which is then used to produce electricity.
