The element curium `._96^248 Cm` has a mean life of `10^13s`. Its primary decay modes are spontaneous fission and `alpha`-decay, the former with a probability of `8%` and the later with a probability of `92%`, each fission releases `200 MeV` of energy. The masses involved in decay are as follows
`._96^248 Cm=248.072220 u`,
`._94^244 P_u=244.064100 u` and `._2^4 He=4.002603u`. Calculate the power output from a sample of `10^20` Cm atoms. (`1u=931 MeV//c^2`)
