Question 18: NCERT Solutions for 12th Class Physics: Chapter 13-Nuclei
A 1000 MW fission reactor consumes half of its fuel in 5.00 y. How much
did it contain initially? Assume that the reactor operates 80% of the time and that all the energy generated arises from the fission of
and that this nuclide is consumed by the fission process.
Solution:


In the fission of one nucleus of
, energy generated is 200 MeV.
