The process of fission is responsible for the release of energy in

A slow neutron strikes a nucleus of ._(92)U^(235) splitting it into lighter nuclei of barium and krypton and releasing three neutrons. Write the corresponding nuclear reaction. Also calculate the energy released on this reaction Given m(._(92)U^(235))=235.043933 "amu" m(._(0)n^(1))=1.008665 amu m(._(56)Ba^(141))=140.917700 "amu" m(._(36)Kr^(92))=91.895400 amu

If 50% of energy released during fission would be converted into electrical energy,then the number of fissions in a second in a nuclear reactor of 6.4MW output is (Energy per fission is 200MeV

Two other possible ways by which .^(235)U can undergo fission when bombarded with a neutron are (1) by the release of .^(140)Xe and .^(94)Sr as fission fragments and (2) by the release of .^(132)Sn and .^(101)Mo as fission fragments. In each case, neutrons are also released. Find the number of neutrons released in each of these events.

The energy released during the fission of 1kg of U^(235) is a E_1 and that product during the fusion of 1 kg of hydrogen is E_2 . If energy released per fission of Uranium - 235 is 200 MeV and that per fusion of hydrogen is 24.7 MeV , then the ratio E_2/E_1 is

State whether the fission of uranium-235 is caused by low energy neutrons or high energy neutrons.

During the fission process of Uranium, the amount of energy liberated per fission is nearly
