Curium 250Cm is the lightest nuclide to undergo spontaneous fission as the main decay mode. Analyze this decay mode following the same theory we saw for alpha emission and in particular estimate the half-life of 250Cm from the following decay channel

25096Cm → 13052Te + 12044Ru

[The mass of 250Cm is 232.938GeV, the mass of 130Te is 121.002 GeV and the mass of 120Ru is 111.724GeV]
