== Inconsistency: "5 MeV" kinetic energy and "110 TJ/kg" specific energy are mutually inconsistent ==

The lead section states: "Alpha particles have a typical kinetic energy of 5 MeV (or ≈ 0.13% of their total energy, 110 TJ/kg)." The three parenthetical values are presented as equivalent expressions of the same kinetic energy, but 5 MeV and 110 TJ/kg are inconsistent.

'''Verification:'''

Mass of an alpha particle = 4.001506 u × 1.66054×10<sup>−27</sup> kg/u = 6.6447×10<sup>−27</sup> kg

5 MeV = 5 × 1.6022×10<sup>−13</sup> J = 8.011×10<sup>−13</sup> J

Specific energy = 8.011×10<sup>−13</sup> J ÷ 6.6447×10<sup>−27</sup> kg = '''1.206×10<sup>14</sup> J/kg = ~121 TJ/kg''', not 110 TJ/kg.

The value 110 TJ/kg corresponds to a kinetic energy of approximately 4.55 MeV — inconsistent with the stated 5 MeV. The "0.13%" value is correct for 5 MeV (5/3727 ≈ 0.134%). It is the "110 TJ/kg" figure that is the outlier; it should be approximately '''121 TJ/kg''' for a 5 MeV alpha particle.
