Where does all the energy come from in a nuclear explosion?

Since energy can neither be created or destroyed, where is this huge amount of energy being transferred from? Is it do with with splitting of the atom? Why does this release energy? How does an atomic/hydrogen/nuclear bomb work, and what are their differences?

All that energy basically comes from the residual strong force. That's only a tiny part of the residual strong forces within the material, and the residual force is only a tiny fraction of all the forces within the atomic structure. Mind-boggling, isn't it?
