Answer:

Nuclear energy is the power released when atoms are split apart or are fused together - as is going on every second in the sun (nuclear fusion energy). Nuclear power tends to mean when humans harness nuclear energy in a power plant to produce electrical energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

A.Nuclear power reactors do not produce direct carbon dioxide emissions. Unlike fossil fuel-fired power plants, nuclear reactors do not produce air pollution or carbon dioxide while operating. However, the processes for mining and refining uranium ore and making reactor fuel all require large amounts of energy.

B.Unlike fossil fuel-fired power plants, nuclear reactors do not produce air pollution or carbon dioxide while operating. However, the processes for mining and refining uranium ore and making reactor fuel all require large amounts of energy.
