Answer

$ U = 1.15 GeV $

Work Step by Step

For $^{230}Pu $ nuclide where $r= 6.64 fm$ and $q = 94e$ $U = \frac{3q^2}{20 \pi \epsilon_0 r }$ $U = \frac{3(94e)^2}{20 \pi (8.85 \times 10^{-12} F/m) (6.64 \times 10^{-15} m) }$ $U = 1.8425 \times 10^{-10} J$ Change unit to eV, $ U = 1.8425 \times 10^{-10} J \times \frac{1 eV}{ 1.602 \times 10^{-19} J}$ $ U = 1.15 GeV $
