Energy released in the fission of 1 kg of U-235 is equivalent to energy obtained from burning of coal weighing

Options

A. 25 ton
B. 250 ton
C. 2500 ton
D. 25000 ton

Explanation

To solve the problem of how much coal is equivalent to the energy released from the fission of 1 kg of U-235, we need to follow these steps:

### Step 1: Determine the energy released from the fission of 1 kg of U-235.
The energy released from the fission of 1 kg of U-235 is approximately 8 x 10^13 joules.

### Step 2: Determine the energy obtained from burning coal.
The energy released from burning 1 kg of coal is approximately 24 megajoules (MJ), which is equal to 24 x 10^6 joules.
