Line 10:
Line 10: − − Instead, a hand-waving claim was made that an excess in kinetic energy of the resultant helium nuclei, which is greater than the energy of the original nuclei, must be attributable to a loss in mass. But in fact the overall energy expended to attain this transmutation is greater than the energy produced by it.
