Energy released in the fusion of $1\, kg$ of deuterium nuclei is:

The Sun radiates energy continuously and maintains its brightness because:

The isotope ${}_{5}^{12}B$ having a mass $12.014 \text{ u}$ undergoes $\beta$-decay to ${}_{6}^{12}C$. ${}_{6}^{12}C$ has an excited state of the nucleus $({}_{6}^{12}C^*)$ at $4.041 \text{ MeV}$ above its ground state. If ${}_{5}^{12}B$ decays to ${}_{6}^{12}C^*$, the maximum kinetic energy of the $\beta$-particle in units of $\text{MeV}$ is ($1 \text{ u} = 931.5 \text{ MeV}/c^2$, where $c$ is the speed of light in vacuum).

$A$ nuclear reactor with $40\%$ efficiency produces $10^{14}$ fissions per second. Each fission releases $250 \text{ MeV}$ of energy. The power output of the reactor is ......... $W$.

Consider the following statements $A$ and $B$. Identify the correct choice in the given answer.
$A$. $p-n, p-p$ and $n-n$ forces between nucleons are not equal and charge dependent.
$B$. In a nuclear reactor, the fission reaction will be in an accelerating state if the value of the neutron reproduction factor $k > 1$.

How much mass of uranium must be destroyed per minute to operate a nuclear reactor of $600\,MW$?
