Question

Where is nuclear energy stored?

Answer 1

Nucleus

This nuclear energy is potential energy stored inside the nucleus of an atom. The protons and neutrons inside of the nucleus are held together by the strong nuclear force, which balances the repulsion of the Coulomb force between the protons. The weak force balances the number of neutrons and protons.
