nuclear

/ˈnuː.kli.ɚ/

adjectivenu · cle · ar

Think: “NEW-CLE-AR” — it’s NEW + CLE (like “cle” in “clever”) + AR (like “are”). Don’t swap the middle into “kyoo.”

Yes, it's nuclear. Spell the middle as **cle** (nu-CLE-ar), not **cu** (avoid “nucular”).

Definitions

  1. adjectiveRelating to the nucleus (center) of an atom, where protons and neutrons are found.
  2. adjectiveUsing or involving energy released by nuclear reactions, especially in power generation or weapons.

Examples

  • “The city held an emergency drill in case of a nuclear accident at the nearby plant.”
