  • A
    $32 \times 10^8 \; W$
  • B
    $16 \times 10^8 \; W$
  • C
    $5 \times 10^{11} \; W$
  • D

By which process is the energy released from the Sun?

$A$ $1000 \; MW$ 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.

The binding energy of a deuteron is $2.2 \, MeV$ and the binding energy of $_2^4He$ is $28 \, MeV$. If two deuterons fuse to form a $_2^4He$ nucleus,the energy released is ...... $MeV$.

Consider the fission of $_{92}^{238} U$ by fast neutrons. In one fission event,no neutrons are emitted and the final end products,after the beta decay of the primary fragments,are $_{58}^{140} Ce$ and $_{44}^{99} Ru$. Calculate the $Q$-value for this fission process. The relevant atomic and particle masses are:
$m(_{92}^{238} U) = 238.05079 \; u$
$m(_{58}^{140} Ce) = 139.90543 \; u$
$m(_{44}^{99} Ru) = 98.90594 \; u$
$m(_{0}^{1} n) = 1.008665 \; u$
