For nuclei with mass number close to 119 and 238, the binding energies per nucleon are approximately 7.6 MeV7.6\,\text{MeV} and 8.6 MeV8.6\,\text{MeV} respectively. If a nucleus of mass number 238 breaks into two nuclei of nearly equal masses, what will be the approximate amount of energy released in the process of fission?
