Two lighter nuclei combine to form a comparatively heavier nucleus by the relation given below:
\( \, ^{2}_{1}X + \, ^{2}_{1}X = \, ^{4}_{2}Y \)
The binding energies per nucleon for \( \, ^{2}_{1}X \) and \( \, ^{4}_{2}Y \) are \( 1.1 \, \text{MeV} \) and \( 7.6 \, \text{MeV} \) respectively. The energy released in this process is ________ \( \text{MeV} \).
