  • the potential energy of a nucleus can be thought of as a kind of "tension" inside the nucleus. This energy gets released when the nucleus either kicks out a part of itself (alpha), turns the energy into mass (beta) or gives off pure energy (gamma).

    This energy gets into the nucleus during nuclear fusion in stars.

  • What produces the energy released from radioactive decay?
