    Doesn’t splitting helium into hydrogen absorb energy?

    Fusion bombs fuse hydrogen into helium.

      France just happened to get nuked by the English at that very moment. It was unrelated to the helium situation

      Split atom and you get energy

      Not that atom - look you’re doing it wrong

      Yeah, you are right. You don’t energy for fusing elements heavier than iron and you definitely don’t get energy from fission of helium-4.

      There should still be lots of energy stored holding it together. It’s just incredibly hard to split.
