Chapter 32, Problem 2PE

Neutrons from a source (perhaps the one discussed in the preceding problem) bombard natural molybdenum, which is 24 percent ⁹⁸Mo. What is the energy output of the reaction ${}^{98}\text{Mo}+n{\to }^{99}\text{Mo}+\gamma$ ? The mass of ⁹⁸MB is given in Appendix A: Atomic Masses, and that of ⁹⁹Mo is 98.907711 u.
