What is nuclear energy?
उत्तर
When a heavy nucleus is bombarded with slow neutrons, it splits into two nearly equal light nuclei with a release of tremendous amount of energy. In this process of nuclear fission, the total sum of masses of products is less than the total sum of masses of reactants. This lost mass gets converted into energy. The energy so released is called nuclear energy.

There is always some loss of energy in conversion from one form of energy to another form, so the total energy is not conserved.
