Calculate the height of the potential barrier for a head-on collision of two deuterons. (Hint: The height of the potential barrier is given by the Coulomb repulsion between the two deuterons when they just touch each other. Assume that they can be taken as hard spheres of radius $2.0 \; fm$.)

If there is a mass defect of $0.1\%$ in a nuclear fission process,how much energy will be released in the fission of $1\, kg$ of mass?

Suppose we think of the fission of a $^{56}_{26} Fe$ nucleus into two equal fragments,$^{28}_{13} Al$. Is the fission energetically possible? Argue by working out the $Q$-value of the process.
Given: $m(^{56}_{26} Fe) = 55.93494 \; u$ and $m(^{28}_{13} Al) = 27.98191 \; u$.
