In a reactor, $2 \, kg$ of ${ }_{92} U ^{235}$ fuel is fully used up in $30$ days. The energy released per fission is $200 \, MeV$. Given that the Avogadro number, $N_A = 6.023 \times 10^{26} \, \text{per kilo mole}$ and $1 \, eV = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, J$. The power output of the reactor is close to $..... \, MW$.
