Explanation:

The environmental impact of nuclear power results from the nuclear fuel cycle, operation, and the effects of nuclear accidents.

The greenhouse gas emissions from nuclear fission power are much smaller than those associated with coal, oil and gas, and the routine health risks are much smaller than those associated with coal. However, there is a "catastrophic risk" potential if containment fails,[1] which in nuclear reactors can be brought about by overheated fuels melting and releasing large quantities of fission products into the environment.

Answer:

Atomic energy or energy of atoms is energy carried by atoms. The term originated in 1903 when Ernest Rutherford began to speak of the possibility of atomic energy. The term was popularized by H. G. Wells in the phrase, "splitting the atom", devised at a time prior to the discovery of the nucleus. Atomic energy may include:

Nuclear binding energy, the energy required to split a nucleus of an atom.

Nuclear potential energy, the potential energy of the particles inside an atomic nucleus.

Nuclear reaction, a process in which nuclei or nuclear particles interact, resulting in products different from the initial ones; see also nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.

Radioactive decay, the set of various processes by which unstable atomic nuclei (nuclides) emit subatomic particles.

The energy of inter-atomic or chemical bonds, which holds atoms together in compounds.
