In the fusion reaction,${ }_1 H^2+{ }_1 H^2 \rightarrow{ }_2 He^4+Q$,where $Q$ is the energy released. If $c$ is the speed of light and $m$ is the mass of each deuterium nucleus,then the mass of the helium nucleus formed is:

$A$ nucleus with mass number $A = 240$ and binding energy per nucleon $= 7.6 \,MeV$ breaks into two fragments each of $A = 120$ with binding energy per nucleon $= 8.5 \,MeV$. Calculate the released energy.

The control rod in a nuclear reactor is made of

$A$ $1000 \; MW$ fission reactor consumes half of its fuel in $5.00 \; y$. How much $_{92}^{235} U$ (in $kg$) did it contain initially? Assume that the reactor operates $80 \%$ of the time, that all the energy generated arises from the fission of $_{92}^{235} U$, and that this nuclide is consumed only by the fission process.

Thermal neutrons are those which

Which of the following isotopes is used for the treatment of cancer?
