If the energy released per fission of a ${ }_{92}^{235} U$ nucleus is $200 \text{ MeV}$, the energy released in the fission of $0.1 \text{ kg}$ of ${ }_{92}^{235} U$ in kilowatt-hour is:

What is nuclear fission and nuclear fusion?

In a fission reaction ${}_{92}^{236}U \to {}^{117}X + {}^{117}Y + n + n$,the binding energy per nucleon of $X$ and $Y$ is $8.5\,MeV$,whereas that of ${}^{236}U$ is $7.6\,MeV$. The total energy liberated will be about:

The average energy released per fission for the nucleus of $_{92}^{235} U$ is $190 \text{ MeV}$. When all the atoms of $47 \text{ g}$ pure $_{92}^{235} U$ undergo fission process, the energy released is $\alpha \times 10^{23} \text{ MeV}$. The value of $\alpha$ is . . . . . . . . . . . (Avogadro Number $= 6 \times 10^{23} \text{ per mole}$)

Calculate and compare the energy released by
$(a)$ fusion of $1.0 \; kg$ of hydrogen deep within the Sun and
$(b)$ the fission of $1.0 \; kg$ of $^{235} U$ in a fission reactor.

Which of the following are suitable for the fusion process?
