Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
The energy released by either splitting up of a heavy unstable nucleus or by fusion of two or more light nuclei is called nuclear energy. The energy released during a nuclear reaction is called nuclear energy. It's named nuclear because the energy comes from an atom's nucleus.
A major environmental concern related to nuclear power is the formation of radioactive wastes such as uranium mill tailings, used reactor fuel, and other radioactive wastes. These materials will remain radioactive and dangerous to human health for thousands of years.
