Usage Note
Atómico relates to atoms in physics and chemistry (energía atómica), and the compound bomba atómica is widely understood. Note that both átomo (noun) and atómico (adjective) are stressed on the third-to-last syllable, so the written accent is required.
Examples
"La planta genera energía atómica."
Natural Translation
The plant generates atomic energy.
