Question:

Consider a hypothetical fission process in which a 12052Te nucleus splits into two identical 6026Fe nuclei without producing any other particles or radiation. The mass of 12052Te is 119.904040 u, and the mass of 6026Fe is 59.934078 u. At the moment when the two iron nuclei form, but before they start moving away due to Coulomb repulsion, how far apart are the two nuclei?
