Nuclear energy discussion

It would, since larger atoms on average release more energy per atom, due to a combination of the decay taking more steps, (more moments where energy is released,) and the energy per step is on average higher. Moscovium has an atomic number of 115, while uranium has an atomic number of 92. However, due to how moscovium has a half-life of half a second, good luck finding it anywhere. The only way to obtain it currently is by making it ourselves, which even in theory has a maximum energy yield of 1.
