Energy Energy is the ability to do work Energy is the ability to do work Measured in Joules, J. Measured in Joules, J. Energy can be grouped into two categories, potential and kinetic energy. Energy can be grouped into two categories, potential and kinetic energy. Nuclear Energy can be defined as potential energy. Nuclear Energy can be defined as potential energy.

Nuclear Energy Nuclear energy is the stored energy inside the nucleus of an atom. Nuclear energy is the stored energy inside the nucleus of an atom. This is the force, called strong nuclear force, that binds the protons and neutrons of the nucleus together. This is the force, called strong nuclear force, that binds the protons and neutrons of the nucleus together. This energy is released during nuclear fission, fusion, and radioactive decay. This energy is released during nuclear fission, fusion, and radioactive decay.

Sources of Nuclear Energy The most common source of nuclear energy from nuclear fission and radioactive decay on earth is the element Uranium. The most common source of nuclear energy from nuclear fission and radioactive decay on earth is the element Uranium. In the universe, stars use nuclear fusion to produce tremendous amounts of nuclear energy that converts to thermal and radiant energy. In the universe, stars use nuclear fusion to produce tremendous amounts of nuclear energy that converts to thermal and radiant energy.

Examples Nuclear fission reactor

Examples Stars, such as the sun (fusion).

Examples Three Mile Island

Examples The Atomic Bomb

Examples Hydrogen Bomb (fusion)

Examples Nuclear fission reactor

Examples Gamma radiation, used as a cancer treatment.

Examples RTG’s (radioisotope thermal generator). Used to power deep- space probes.

Conversion In nuclear fission and nuclear fusion, the released nuclear energy converts to thermal and radiant energy. In nuclear fission and nuclear fusion, the released nuclear energy converts to thermal and radiant energy. Radioactive decay emits energy that converts to chemical energy. Radioactive decay emits energy that converts to chemical energy.
