A reactor is developing nuclear energy at a rate of 32,000 kilowatts. How many of `.^235U` undergo fission per second ? How many `.^235U` would be used up in 1000 hour op operation? Assume an average energy of 200MeV released per fission. Take Avogadro's number as `6xx10^(23)`and `1MeV=1.6xx10^(-13)J`.
