The binding energy per nucleon for 238U is about 7.6 MeV, while it is about 8.6 MeV for nuclei of half that mass. If a 238U nucleus were to split into two equal-size nuclei, about how much energy would be released in the process?

Solution:
The binding energy per nucleon for 238U is about 7.6 MeV, while it is about 8.6
