On disintegration of one atom of .^(235)...

On disintegration of one atom of `.^(235)U` , the amount of energy obtained is `200 MeV`. The power obtained in a reactor is `1000` kilo watt. How many atoms are disintegrated per second in the reactor? What is the decay in mass per hour?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we will break it down into two parts: calculating the number of atoms disintegrated per second and then calculating the mass decay per hour. ### Part 1: Number of Atoms Disintegrated Per Second 1. **Given Data**: - Energy obtained from the disintegration of one atom of \( ^{235}U \) = 200 MeV - Power of the reactor = 1000 kW = \( 1000 \times 10^3 \) W = \( 10^6 \) W ...
