(a) Calculate the energy released if `.^(238)U` emits an `alpha` particle. (b) Calculate the energy to be supplied to `.^(238)U` if two protons and two neutrons are to be emitted one by one. The atomic masses are :
`.^(238)U=238.0508` amu`" ".^(234)Th=234.04363` amu `" "._(2)^(4)He=4.0026` amu
`._(0)^(1)=1.008665` amu `" "._(1)^(1)p=1.007276` amu
