A standard nuclear power plant generates 2.4GW of thermal power from the fission of 235U. Experiment
Description
A standard nuclear power plant generates 2.4GW of thermal power from the fission of 235U. Experiments show that, on average, 0.19 u of mass is lost in each fission of a 235U nucleus.
Part A
How many kilograms of 235U undergo fission each year in this power plant?
