Kind of interesting to note that 'work' (as in physical energy) and 'labour' use the same word in German.

      He is probably thinking in sense of “Atomkraft”

      Honestly they get mixed up just like in English. Kraftwerk for power plant, Kraftstoff for fuel. But then you have elektrische Leistung for electrical power.
