According to the famous equation of mass-energy conversion:
E=mC^2
Where,
E= energy released or absorbed during reaction
m= mass of particle
C= speed of light or photons= 3*10^8 m/sec
So, using this formulae,
Energy released= [{1*10^(-3)} * (3* 10^8)^2] joules = 9*10^13 joules = 90 TJ.
Basically this energy-mass conversion equation is used in such kind of calculations throughout.
