In a nuclear power plant, energy is released from the nuclei of atoms. The correct option among all the options given in the question is the first option. Huge amount of thermal energy is released by the breaking of the uranium atoms. This energy is used for turning a turbine that produces electricity. It is a very clean method of producing electricity. 

Answer: energy is released from the nuclei of atoms

Explanation:

Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of molecules.

Nuclear energy is the energy stored in the nucleus of the atom.

Nuclear power plants use heat produced during nuclear fission to heat water which is produced by the splitting of heavy nucleus into lighter elements by release of energy.

The complete nuclear fission reaction is:
