The energy released by the fission of one uranium nucleus is $200 \text{ MeV}$. The number of fissions per second required to produce $128 \text{ W}$ power is:

The disintegration energy $Q$ for the nuclear fission of ${ }^{235} U \rightarrow{ }^{140} Ce+{ }^{94} Zr+n$ is $\_ \text{MeV}$.
Given atomic masses of:
${ }^{235} U: 235.0439 \text{ u}, { }^{140} Ce: 139.9054 \text{ u},$
${ }^{94} Zr: 93.9063 \text{ u}, n: 1.0086 \text{ u},$
Value of $c^2 = 931 \text{ MeV/u}$.

Nuclear fission experiments show that neutrons split uranium nuclei into two fragments of about the same size. This process is accompanied by the emission of several:
