A nuclear explosion is designed to deliver `1 MW` of heat energy, how many fission events must be required in a second to attain this power level. If this explosion is designed with a nuclear fuel consisting of uranium `235` to run a reactor at this power level for one year, then calculate the amount of fuel needed. You can assume that the calculate the amount of energy released per fission event is `200 MeV`.
