Nuclear power plants convert the energy released in fission reactions to electric energy. Consider one such power plant that generates 1.00 GW of electric power. The fission of each uranium-235 nucleus releases 200 MeV of energy. The power released by the fission reactions is converted to electric power with a 41.0% efficiency. How much uranium-235 per day, by mass in kg, undergoes fission at this power plant?

For example , if a nuclear fission reactor produces an average power of 1.0 GW over the year (10^9 W), what mass of U-235 has undergone fission in that time? Use the stat that on average 200 MeV energy is released per fission reaction. Please not that on average a mole of uranium (containing 6.023 × 1023 nuclei) has a mass of 235.043930 g

Burning 20 tons of coal provides about 5. 1011 J, which is approximately the annual energy requirement of an average person in the United States. If this amount of energy was provided by the electricity generated by the fission of uranium-235 in a nuclear reactor, instead, what mass of natural uranium would be required? About 0.7% of natural uranium is uranium-235 (almost all the rest is uranium-238, which does not fission like U-235 does). Assume that the fission of each...

Assume that in 2015 the United States will need 3.0*10^12watts of electric power produced by thousands of 1000 MW power plants. These will almost certainly be powered by either coal or nuclear reactors. If all the energy is provided by U-235 burning reactors, how many tonnes of U-235 will be needed annually? NOTE: assume that fission of U-235 releases a "rounded" 8.E13 J/kg (Assume a realistic efficiency of 40 percent for the power plant)
