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

9.36 In a nuclear power plant the reactor transfers the heat to a flow of liquid sodium, which in a heat exchanger transfers the heat to boiling water. Saturated vapor steam at 5 MPa exits this heat exchanger and is then superheated to 600°C in an external gas-fired superheater. The steam enters the turbine, which has an extraction at 0.4 MPa to an open FWH, and the condenser pressure is 10 kPa. Determine the heat transfer in the reactor and...
