Energy released in the fission of a single `._92 U^235` nucleus is `200 MeV`. The fission rate of a `._92 U^235` fuelled reactor operating at a power level of `5 W` is.

A

`1.56 xx 10^(10)s^(-1)`

B

`1.56 xx 10^(11)s^(-1)`

C

`1.56xx10^(16)s^(-1)`

D

`1.56xx10^(17) s^(-1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Fission rate `=(5)/(200xx1.6xx10^(-3)) = 1.56xx10^(11)sec^(-1)`
