The energy released by the fission of a single uranium nucleus is `200 MeV`. The number of fission of uranium nucleus per second required to produce `16 MW` of power is (Assume efficiency of the reactor is `50%`)

A

`2xx10^(6)`

B

`2.5xx10^(6)`

C

`5xx10^(6)`

D

`1xx10^(18)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
