A U^(235) nuclear reactor generates energy at a rate of 3.70 x x10^(7) J/s . Each fission liberates 185 MeV useful energy. If the reactor has to operate for 144 xx 10^(4) S , then, the mass of the fuel needed is (Assume Avogadro's number = 6 x 10^(23) mol^(-1), 1eV = 1.6 x 10^(-19) J ).

The binding energy par nucleon for deuterium (""_(1)^(2)H) and helium (""_(4)^(2)He) are 1.1 MeV and 7.0 MeV respectively. The energy released when two deutrons fuse to form a helium nucleus (""_(4)^(2)He) is K(10^(7)) MeV, where K= ……… (nearly)

(a) How much mass is lost per day by a nuclear reactor operated at 10^(9) watt power level. (b) If each fission releases 200 MeV, how many fissions occur per second to yield this power level.

Suppose India had a target of producing by 2020 AD, 200,000 MW of electric power, ten percent of which was to be obtained from nuclear power plants. Suppose we are given that, on an average, the efficiency of utilization (i.e. conversion to electric energy) of thermal energy produced in a reactor was 25%. How much amount of fissionable uranium would our country need per year by 2020? Take the heat energy per fission of 235U to be about 200MeV.
