Lithium hydride, LiH, has been proposed as a possible nuclear fuel. The nuclei to be used and the reaction involved are as follows:

the listed masses being those of the neutral atoms. Calculate the expected power production, in megawatts, associated with the consumption of 1.00 g of LiH per day. Assume 100 percent efficiency.
