The numbers don’t add up. If you can get 21 billion food calories from total annihilation (which I checked is right), you’d get nowhere near 18 billion food calories from a fusion reaction. Maybe if works if you assume “calories” for the fission reaction means metric calories, since food calories are metric kilocalories.

I hate the way the word “calorie” ended up with two wildly different definitions.
