The explosive in a Hydrogen bomb is a mixture of ${ }_1 H^2, { }_1 H^3$ and ${ }_3 Li^6$ in some condensed form. The chain reaction is given by:
${ }_3 Li^6 + { }_0 n^1 \rightarrow { }_2 He^4 + { }_1 H^3$
${ }_1 H^2 + { }_1 H^3 \rightarrow { }_2 He^4 + { }_0 n^1$
During the explosion,the energy released is approximately:
