The energy released due to fission of on...

The energy released due to fission of one atom of a radioactive substance is 170 MeV. Calculate the number of atoms disintegrated per second in the reactor if the power obtained from the rector is 2,000 kW. Also, calculate the decay in mass in one hour.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to calculate two things: 1. The number of atoms disintegrated per second in the reactor. 2. The decay in mass in one hour. ### Step 1: Convert Energy Released from MeV to Joules The energy released due to the fission of one atom is given as 170 MeV. We need to convert this energy into Joules. ...
