$A$ star has $10^{40}$ deuterons. It produces energy via the processes:
$_1H^2 + _1H^2 \to _1H^3 + p$
$_1H^2 + _1H^3 \to _2He^4 + n$
If the average power radiated by the star is $10^{16} \ W$, the deuteron supply of the star is exhausted in a time of the order of:
Given:
Mass of $_1H^2 = 2.014 \ amu$
Mass of $_2He^4 = 4.001 \ amu$
Mass of proton = $1.007 \ amu$
Mass of neutron = $1.008 \ amu$

During the fission of $_{92}U^{235}$,$0.1\%$ of its mass is converted into energy. How much energy is produced from $1 \, kg$ of $_{92}U^{235}$?

What is the approximate power output of a $_{92}U^{235}$ reactor if it consumes $2 \ kg$ of fuel in $30 \ days$ and each fission releases $185 \ MeV$ of usable energy? (Avogadro's number $N_A = 6.02 \times 10^{26} \text{ atoms/kmol}$)
