Answer: B. Nuclear energy is contained in nuclear bonds.
Evidence:
- To access nuclear energy, the bonds holding the nuclear particles together must be broken.
- fission: the process of breaking the bonds between the particles in an atom's nucleus
- Contained in the bonds holding the nucleus together
- This energy can be used but it has to be released by breaking the bonds - fission
- Energy can also be created by making bonds between atoms - fusion
- fusion: the process of creating bonds between particles in an atom's nucleus
