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

$A$ fission reaction is given by ${ }_{92}^{236} U \rightarrow{ }_{54}^{140} Xe +{ }_{38}^{94} Sr + x + y$,where $x$ and $y$ are two particles. Considering ${ }_{92}^{236} U$ to be at rest,the kinetic energies of the products are denoted by $K_{Xe}, K_{Sr}, K_x (2 \ MeV)$ and $K_y (2 \ MeV)$,respectively. Let the binding energies per nucleon of ${ }_{92}^{236} U, { }_{54}^{140} Xe$ and ${ }_{38}^{94} Sr$ be $7.5 \ MeV, 8.5 \ MeV$ and $8.5 \ MeV$ respectively. Considering different conservation laws,the correct option$(s)$ is(are):
