$_{1}^{2} H + _{1}^{3} H \to _{2}^{4} He + _{0}^{1} n$
If the binding energies of $_{1}^{2} H, _{1}^{3} H$ and $_{2}^{4} He$ are $a, b$ and $c$ (in $MeV$) respectively, then the energy released in the reaction is:

$U^{235}$ 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 $\text{ kg}$)

The atomic power station at Tarapore has a generating capacity of $200\, MW$. The energy generated in a day by this station is:
