Physics Question on Fusion and Fission

In the fusion reaction 12H+12H23He+01n_1^2H+_1^2H→_2^3He+_0^1n, the masses of deuteron, helium and neutron expressed in amu are 2.015, 3.017 and 1.009, respectively. If 1 kg of deuterium undergoes complete fusion, find the amount of total energy released. (1=amu 931.5 MeV).
