Nuclear energy stays in the nucleus of an atom. Nuclear reactions include changes in an atom’s nucleus and therefore causes a change in the atom itself. Usually chemical reaction forms molecules. Nuclear reactions outcome in the transmutation of one element into a dissimilar isotope or a different component altogether. Presently the nuclear energy providing a significant amount of the world's electricity. Radioisotopes and radiation have many applications in research, medicine, industry and agriculture. Gradually they are improving the quality of our lives. There is enormous energy in the bond that holds an atom. Nuclear energy can be used to produce electricity. But initial the energy must be released. There are two ways that the energy can be released, one is nuclear fission and other one is nuclear fusion. In nuclear fission, atoms are divided to form smaller atoms, discharging energy. Nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to produce current.
