Nuclear fission is the process of splitting large atoms such as Uranium and Plutonium, into smaller atoms. To split an atom you have to hit it with a neutron, and with this, several neutrons are realeased which sets off a chain reaction.

Nuclear fusion is the process of combining small atoms such as Hydrogen and Helium, to produce larger, heavier atoms. This produces more energy than fission and produces much less radioactive waste.
Nuclear energy is a type of potential energy. Nuclear potential energy is the potential energy inside the particles inside an atomic nulceus. The nuclear particles are bound together by strong nuclear forces.
Nuclear fission produces 20% of the United States energy. It also produces no gasses that are harmful to our atmosphere, such at Carbon Dioxide. The only dangerous by product is nuclear waste, which must be disposed of carefully.
