Nuclear potential energy is potential energy contained in the particles inside the atomic nucleus.
Nuclear particles like protons and neutrons are not split in the process of fission and fusion, but a collection of them has a mass lower than if they are in a separate position / its own. The existence of the mass difference is liberated in the form of heat and radiation in nuclear reactions (heat and radiation have the missing mass, but sometimes released into the system, which is not measurable). Solar energy is one example of this energy conversion. In the sun, hydrogen fusion process change 4 billion tons of solar matter per second into electromagnetic energy, which is then radiated into space.
