I believe the answer is:

atomic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'mink in coat tailored for an energetic type' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'a fair amount' is the wordplay.
'fair' becomes 'tomi' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'amount' becomes 'c' (C is an example).
'a'+'tomi'+'c'='ATOMIC'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for atomic that I've seen before include "Like nuclear energy" , "Extremely minute" , "Referring to a tiny particle" , "Relating to nuclear energy" , "nuclear issues?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times and the Irish Times (Crosaire).
