Nuclear energy is obtained through fission and fusion reactions. Fission reactions require splitting up of atoms with a result to release enormous amounts of energy. The conversion of mass to energy can be explained by Einsteins relation of...

This site had some stuff on the subject, but don't know how accurate it is: www.worsleyschool.net Basically, you want to put the sun in a box, but how do you design something to absorb 40 million+ degrees of constant heat? The last test th...

The maximum binding energy per nuclear building block is within the range of the mass number 60. By means of nucleus conversion, energy can therefore be obtained either by fission of heavy nuclei such as uranium or by fusion of lighter nuclei such as hydrogen.

NUCLEAR ENERGY -- Power obtained by splitting heavy atoms (fission) or joining light atoms (fusion). A nuclear energy plant uses a controlled atomic chain reaction to produce heat. The heat is used to make steam run conventional turbine generators.
