1.Nuclear energy is energy that comes from a nucleus, the core of an atom. Atoms are particles that make up every object, and there exists a lot of energy (binding forces) which holds these atoms together. Nuclear energy can be used to make electricity, but for this to happen the energy has to be released from atoms.
There are two ways energy can be released from an atom: nuclear fusion or nuclear fission. Nuclear fusion means that atoms combine to fuse into a larger atom.Nuclear fission means that the atom splits into smaller atoms releasing energy.
Nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to create electricity. The fuel that nuclear power plants use for nuclear fission is uranium. Unlike solar power and wind energy, uranium is a non-renewable resource. Inside the nuclear reactor, where fission takes place, a particle called a neutron hits the uranium atom, which then splits the uranium atom releasing a great amount of energy as heat and radiation.

2.Fossils are the remains or imprints of prehistoric plants or animals. They are found in sedimentary rock (rock formed from sand and mud), coal, tar, volcanic ash, fossilized tree sap or frozen in ice. Usually, only the hard parts of plants and animals, like their bones and teeth, become fossils.
Most animals that became fossils either lived in water or were washed into a body of water. After an animal died, its soft parts, such as its fur, skin, muscle and organs, decomposed. The hard parts that remained were buried under moist layers of mud or sand, where there was no oxygen and bacteria to cause them to decay. The sediment that covered the bones eventually turned into solid rock. Over the course of millions of years, minerals in the surrounding rock partly or completely replaced the original animal material, forming a fossil.
