MeV/particle
megaelectronvolt per particle
Molar energyexact by definition
One megaelectronvolt per particle is 9.648533212 × 10¹⁰ J/mol, the natural unit of nuclear energetics. Binding energy per nucleon peaks near 8.8 MeV, a U-235 fission releases about 200 MeV, and D-T fusion 17.6 MeV.
Watch out: Nuclear energies are per nucleus or per nucleon, and the two differ by the mass number. 200 MeV per fission is not 200 MeV per nucleon; it is about 0.85.
