  • A
    $3.125 \times 10^{13}$
  • B
    $1.52 \times 10^{6}$
  • C
    $3.125 \times 10^{12}$
  • D
    $3.125 \times 10^{14}$

In nuclear fission,the fission reaction proceeds with a projectile. Which of the following suits the best?

If the number of uranium nuclei required per hour to produce a power of $64 \text{ kW}$ is $7.2 \times 10^{18}$, then the energy released per fission is

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

In a nuclear fission process,a high mass nuclide $(A \approx 236)$ with binding energy $7.6 \ MeV/\text{nucleon}$ dissociates into two middle mass nuclides $(A \approx 118)$,each having a binding energy of $8.6 \ MeV/\text{nucleon}$. The energy released in the process is $MeV$.
