The fission of a $_{92}U^{235}$ nucleus releases $200 \, MeV$ of energy. Find the rate of fission of $_{92}U^{235}$ required to operate a reactor at a constant power of $5 \, W$.

$A$ nuclear reactor generates power by fission of ${}_{92}U^{235}$ into two equal fragments of ${}_{46}Pd^{116}$ with the emission of two $\gamma$-rays of $5.2 \text{ MeV}$ each and three neutrons. The average binding energies per nucleon of ${}_{92}U^{235}$ and ${}_{46}Pd^{116}$ are $7.2 \text{ MeV}$ and $8.2 \text{ MeV}$ respectively. The usable energy released per fission event is ......... $\text{MeV}$.
