To generate a power of $3.2 \text{ MW}$,the number of fissions of $^{235}\text{U}$ per minute is (Energy released per fission $= 200 \text{ MeV}$,$1 \text{ eV} = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \text{ J}$)

Which of the following are suitable for the fusion process?

The energy released in the fusion of $2 \ kg$ of hydrogen deep in the sun is $E_{H}$ and the energy released in the fission of $2 \ kg$ of ${ }^{235} U$ is $E_U$. The ratio $\frac{E_H}{E_U}$ is approximately :
(Consider the fusion reaction as $4{ }_1^1 H + 2 e^{-} \rightarrow { }_2^4 He + 2 \nu + 6 \gamma + 26.7 \ MeV$,energy released in the fission reaction of ${ }^{235} U$ is $200 \ MeV$ per fission nucleus and $N_{A} = 6.023 \times 10^{23}$ )

$U^{235}$ nuclear reactor generates energy at a rate of $3.70 \times 10^7 \text{ J/s}$. Each fission liberates $185 \text{ MeV}$ of useful energy. If the reactor has to operate for $144 \times 10^4 \text{ s}$, then the mass of the fuel needed is (Assume Avogadro's number $= 6 \times 10^{23} \text{ mol}^{-1}$, $1 \text{ eV} = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \text{ J}$) (in $\text{ kg}$)
