Sample of enriched uranium


Consider a 10 g sample of enriched uranium (containing initially 15 w/o in U235 and the rest is U238) that is exposed in a thermal reactor to a flux of 10^12 neutrons/cm^2/sec for 1 week and then removed. How long would it take for 99 percent of the uranium-239 atoms still present to be converted to plutonium-239?
