When the nucleus is broken up energy is produced.  This breaking up of heavy nucleus into parts with the release of energy is called nuclear fission.

      Atomic energy is also referred to as the Nuclear energy.
      Its uses are many. Some of these are:
      Making electricity, Making the medical instruments Sterile, Prolonging shelf life of many food materials, Treatment of cancer etc.

      The conventional sources of energy are depleting at very fast rate. Most of them also pollute our environment. The efficiency of many of them is very poor. e.g. huge amounts of coal or wood are required to be burnt before we can get sufficient amount of energy.

      On the other hand, Atomic energy is free from all these problems. Is is definitely a need today and there is absolutely no doubt about it.
