Inside a nuclear power plant, energy is liberated as nuclear reactions proceed inside the core. As this happens, the mass of the nuclei
Decreases. |
Stays the same. |
Increases. |
During nuclear reaction in which energy is liberated, this energy liberation happens at the expense of mass.
So we can as the nuclear reactions proceed the mass of nucleus decreases
Option 1 is correct.

A nuclear power plant generates 3000 MW of heat energy from nuclear reactions in the reactor's core. This energy is used to boil water and produce high-pressure steam at 320 ∘C. The steam spins a turbine, which produces 1000 MW of electric power, then the steam is condensed and the water is cooled to 25∘C before starting the cycle again. Part A: What is the maximum possible thermal efficiency of the power plant? Part B: Cooling water from a river...
Describe the features of the reactor core of a nuclear power plant?
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?
Write a detailed explanation of how a nuclear power plant generates electricity. Include concepts from the lessons(energy and power and the physics of explosion; atoms and heat; gravity, force, space; Nuclei and radioactivity; chain-reactions, nuclear reactors, and atomic bombs; electricity and magnetism) on heat, energy, radiation, isotopes, electric and magnetic fields. Your answer should include a detailed explanation of the types of energy involved (kinetic, rotational, chemical, thermal, etc.).
A nuclear power plant converts energy from nuclear fission into electricity with an efficiency of 36.0%. How much mass (in kg) is destroyed in one year to produce a continuous 1420 MW of electric power? _________kg
If the required power output of a nuclear plant that has an overall efficiency of 37.3% is 1.05 Gw, determine the amount of nuclear fuel (in kg) consumed each day if the fuel is 222U and each fission reaction produces 200 MeV nuclear fuel (in kg) consumed each day if the fuel is 9 and each fission reaction produces 200 MeV. 1.89823e-8 X Knowing the daily power requirement and efficiency of the plant, how can you determine the needed power...
Suppose that a 15
star finally runs out of nuclear fuel in its core and undergoes a
Type II supernova explosion. You are going to analyse the energy
budget, calculating all the quantities in Joules.
a) Estimate the amount of gravitational energy that would be
liberated by the collapse of the core (say) 1.4 M
to the size of neutron star.
b) How much of this energy would be required to disintegrate the
iron nuclei in the core?
c) How...

Use the concepts of effective nuclear charge, shielding, and value of the valence orbital to explain the trend in atomic radius as we move across a period in the periodic table. Match the words in the left column to the appropriate banks in the sentence on the right Reset Help bigger the sand increases As you move to the right across a row in the periodic table, the level stays the same However, the nuclear charge increases and the amount...
The proton-proton (p-p) chain reaction is presently the source of (nuclear) energy in the core of stars. This reaction releases 6.0 times 10^-14 J/kg. Consider a star with a total mass of 4.15 times 10^30 kg; the p-p chain will convert 10% of its mass (core mass) to helium. If the total power (luminosity) of the star is 8.2 times 10^20 W, how many years can it produce energy by this reaction?
