The nuclear reaction that powers the sun involves the fusion of four protons (mp = 1.673x10-27 kg) into a helium nucleus (mHe = 6.645x10-27 kg). The process involves several steps, but the net reaction is simply: 4p  He + energy. How much energy is released overall in each fusion process? Give your answer in J and MeV
