Okay, so just to clear up this confusion:

Nuclear can mean both fission or fusion, because they both have to do with different methods of altering the nucleus.

However, we CAN tell that the one currently in-game is fission, because you need Uranium for it to function. Uranium (specifically uranium-235) is commonly used in fission reactors. In fusion bombs, (we do not have a fusion reactor yet) the commonly used material is Hydrogen, hence the hydrogen bomb. Uranium is too heavy (needs to be lighter than iron) of an element to yield energy with fusion.
