My understanding is that there is indeed loss of matter/energy in nuclear fission. Additionally, I believe the consensus is that the distinction we make between matter and energy is a little blurrier than we have made it here.
There is no loss of matter/energy. A small amount of mass is converted into energy, but the overall total of mass/energy is the same as per E = MC
2.
That is for each gram that is converted the amount of energy formed is ~9 x 10
7 kgm
2/sec
2, that is ~9 x 10
7 Joules.
