Essay

Tritium-tritium fusion is given by the reaction $$\mathrm { t } + \mathrm { t } = { } ^ { 4 } \mathrm { He } + 2 \mathrm { n }$$ Calculate the energy release for this process. Note the following atomic masses $m \left( { } ^ { 3 } \mathrm { H } \right) = 3.016049268 \mathrm { u }$
and
$m \left( { } ^ { 4 } \mathrm { He } \right) = 4.00260325 \mathrm { u }$ .
Ensure that electrons are properly accounted for on the two sides of the equation.
