message: Nuclear power is not just about the comercial generation of electricity and I think covers a wide enough number of topics as to make the redirect totally approprate.  Also the rudamentry discussion of e=mc^2 reads very badly.  Better to make the page a DAB and just send the readers there. Dalf | Talk 01:40, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Scratch the redirect I think we should make this page a disambiguation page.  I will do some thinking about how to reformat it while waiting for everyone to object. Dalf | Talk 01:41, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: However poorly written, this page is about the fundamental science behind nuclear energy, the nuclear power page is about applications of nuclear power to generate electricity. 199.125.109.36 14:25, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article should be redirected (again) to Nuclear power or made into a disambiguation page 

message: The fuel most widely used by nuclear plants for nuclear fission is uranium. Uranium is nonrenewable, though it is a common metal found in rocks all over the world. Nuclear plants use a certain kind of uranium, U-235, as fuel because its atoms are easily split apart. Though uranium is quite common, about 100 times more common than silver, U-235 is relatively rare.   Most U.S uranium is mined, in the Western United States.  Once uranium is mined the U-235 must be extracted and processed before it can be used as a fuel.
During nuclear fission, a small particle called a neutron hits the uranium atom and splits it, releasing a great amount of energy as heat and radiation. More neutrons are also released. These neutrons go on to bombard other uranium atoms, and the process repeats itself over and over again. This is called a chain reaction.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Henggao cai (talk • contribs) 22:39, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  nuclear power 

message: This is a short article that doesn't say anything that isn't individually in the nuclear energy section of binding energy, or the relative sections of radioactive decay, atom, stable isotope, energy and a number of other places this chart is used. Any redirect could be to any of these sections (since a redirect can GO to just a section of another wiki).
Moreover, THIS article is badly named. I expected it to be about nuclear reactor technology or nuclear power.
So I suggest it not be merged (in this cases a euphemism) but deleted, and any uses of it elsewhere in other wikis as a target, be redirected to Binding_energy#Nuclear_binding_energy_curve. SBHarris 15:10, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: What about the earlier suggestion of making it into a disambiguation page? NPguy (talk) 02:41, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a better idea, as it's a very ambiguous term, used for lots of things. Yes-- a dab is clearly the way to go. SBHarris 17:18, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I have done the deed. This is now a disambiguation page. --Kvng (talk) 19:56, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
