Verified by Experts

Biomass is an energy source obtained from plant materials and animal wastes. Nuclear energy is released during nuclear fission and fusion. In nuclear fission, a uranium atom is bombarded with low-energy neutrons. Hence, uranium atom splits Into two relatively lighter nucle. This reaction produces huge amount of energy. In nuclear fusion, lighter nuclei are fused together to form relatively heavier nuclei. This reaction produces a tremendous amount of energy. Hence, nuclear energy is not an example of a biomass energy source.
