In a nuclear fission process,a high mass nuclide $(A \approx 236)$ with binding energy $7.6 \ MeV/\text{nucleon}$ dissociates into two middle mass nuclides $(A \approx 118)$,each having a binding energy of $8.6 \ MeV/\text{nucleon}$. The energy released in the process is $MeV$.

The binding energies of nuclei $X$ and $Y$ are $E_1$ and $E_2$ respectively. Two atoms of $X$ fuse to give one atom of $Y$ and an energy $Q$ is released. Then:

If in a nuclear fission,a piece of uranium of mass $0.5\, g$ is lost,the energy obtained in $kWh$ is

Suppose India had a target of producing by $2020\; AD$, $200,000\; MW$ of electric power, ten percent of which was to be obtained from nuclear power plants. Suppose we are given that, on an average, the efficiency of utilization (i.e., conversion to electric energy) of thermal energy produced in a reactor was $25\%$. How much amount of fissionable uranium would our country need per year by $2020$? Take the heat energy per fission of $^{235}_{92}U$ to be about $200\; MeV$.

$A$ 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.
