What is the energy released in the process $3 \, _{2}^{4}\text{He} \to _{6}^{12}\text{C}$ (in $, \text{MeV}$)? (Mass of $_{2}^{4}\text{He} = 4.002604 \, \text{amu}$,mass of $_{6}^{12}\text{C} = 12 \, \text{amu}$)

For nuclei with mass number close to $119$ and $238$, the binding energies per nucleon are approximately $7.6 \text{ MeV}$ and $8.6 \text{ MeV}$ respectively. If a nucleus of mass number $238$ breaks into two nuclei of nearly equal masses, what will be the approximate amount of energy released in the process of fission (in $\text{ MeV}$)?
