(a) Calculate the energy released in the neutron-induced fission 96 Sr + 140 xe+ 3n, n + 238 U given m(9 Sr) = 95.921750 u and m(140 Xe) = 139.92164. (b) This result is about 6 MeV greater than the result for spontaneous fission. Why? (c) Confirm that the total number of nucleons and total charge are conserved in this reaction.
