There's a logical disconnect in this jump though:

> Uranium-238 (U-238) is a radioactive isotope that releases energy through the process of radioactive decay. The energy content of uranium-238 can be calculated based on its energy release per fission event.

U-238 almost never decays by fission, but boy does this read like it would.
