https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_binding_energy
*Nuclear binding energy* is the energy <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy> that would be required to disassemble the nucleus <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_nucleus> of an atom <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom> into its component parts. These component parts are neutrons <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron> and protons <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton>, which are collectively called nucleons <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleon>. The binding energy <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binding_energy> of nuclei is due to the attractive forces that hold these nucleons together, and it is always a positive number, since all nuclei would require the expenditure of energy to separate them into individual protons and neutrons. The mass <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass> of an atomic nucleus is less than the sum of the individual masses of the free constituent <https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/constituent> protons and neutrons (according to Einstein's equation E=mc2) and this 'missing mass' is known as the mass defect <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_binding_energy#Mass_defect>, and represents the energy that was released when the nucleus was formed. The energy produced by fusion and fission is excess exergy that comes from the reconfiguration of one type of element into another through the rearrangement of their nucleons.
