They follow the law of conservation of energy only statements about nuclear reactions is true.

Answer:

They follow the law of conservation of energy only

Explanation:

Nuclear reaction produces large amount of energy. They are of two types  --

Fission nuclear reaction

Fusion nuclear reaction

Since energy is associated with nuclear reaction, it must follow universal law of conservation of energy.

Law of conservation states that we cannot create energy from anywhere and also we cannot destroy energy. It can only be transferred from one energy form into another energy form.

In the nuclear reaction, energy is obtained from the collisions of the different atoms such as uranium or helium atom, etc.
