The extent of localization of a particle...

The extent of localization of a particle is determined roughly by its de Broglie wave. If an electron is localized within the nucleus (of size about `10^(14)`m) of an atom, what is its energy? Compare this energy with the typical binding energies (of the order of a few MeV) in a nucleus and hence argue why electrons cannot reside in a nucleus.
