Solution

Nuclear energy is obtained from atoms of radioactive elements like uranium and thorium. This energy is harnessed by altering the structure of atoms that produce a high amount of heat energy. A huge amount of energy is released which is then used to boil water to create steam. Steam in turn forces the turbines to spin. This turbine is connected to a generator that generates electricity in a power plant. This energy is also known as Atomic Energy.
