The fission properties of .(94)^(239)Pu ...

The fission properties of `._(94)^(239)Pu` are very similar to those of `._(92)^(238)U`. The average energy released per fission is 180 MeV. How much energy, in MeV, is released if all the atoms in 1kg of pure `._(94)^(239)Pu` undergo fission ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
