`A U^(235)` reactor generated power at a rate of P producting `2xx10^(18)` fussion per second. The energy released per fission is 185 MeV. The value of P is

A

`59.2` MW

B

`370xx10^(18)MW`

C

`0.59 MW`

D

370 MW

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Power, `P=(nE)/(t)`
Given, `n=2xx10^(18)` fission per second
E=185MeV
Here, `P=(2xx10^(18)xx185xx10^(6)eV)/(1)`
`implies=2xx10^(18)xx185xx10^(6)xx16xx10^(-19)=59.2MW`
