The explosive in a Hydrogen bomb is a mixture of \({ }_1 \mathrm{H}^2,{ }_1 \mathrm{H}^3\) and \({ }_3 \mathrm{Li}^6\) in some condensed form. The chain reaction is given by \( { }_3 \mathrm{Li}^6+{ }_0 \mathrm{n}^1 \rightarrow{ }_2 \mathrm{He}^4+{ }_1 \mathrm{H}^3 \) \( { }_1 \mathrm{H}^2+{ }_1 \mathrm{H}^3 \rightarrow{ }_2 \mathrm{He}^4+{ }_0 \mathrm{n}^1\) During the explosion the energy released is approximately [Given : \(\mathrm{M}(\mathrm{Li})=6.01690\  \mathrm{amu} . \mathrm{M}\left({ }_1 \mathrm{H}^2\right)=2.01471 \  amu.\) \(\mathrm{M}\left({ }_2 \mathrm{He}^4\right)=4.00388\  \mathrm{amu}\),\( and\ \)\(1 \ \mathrm{amu}=931.5\) \(\mathrm{MeV}]\)
