Usage notes
- Usually follows the noun in fixed terms: energia nucleare, famiglia nucleare. Before the noun is uncommon and often sounds technical or marked.
- Do not confuse with atomico: nucleare is broader and standard for energy, weapons, and physics; atomico is often more specific or stylistic.
- Agrees in gender and number: nucleare, nucleari. The singular form is the same for masculine and feminine nouns.
