| 11. If 200 MeV energy is released in the fission of a sample nucleus of 92U235, how many fissions must occur per second to produce a power of 1 kW? |
| |
| Suggested solution: |
| |
 |
| |
| = 200 Mev |
| |
| |
| |
| = 200 x 1.6 x 10-13 J |
| |
| = 3.2 x 10-11 J |
| |
| 1kW = 1000 W = 1000 Js-1 |
| |
| If x be the number of fissions per second required to generate a power of 1kW, then |
