What if I fuse uranium huh? What then pal?!!!?
The point is the "energy well". That is the elements "in the middle" of the periodic table are more stable/at lower energy states. So fusioning heavy elements or fissioning light elements move to higher energy states, so it will take more energy in than it releases.
And 'the middle' is iron, in case anyone is wondering.
Ironically >:3

Congrats on your newly discovered element 184!
