What is the energy released in the fission reaction 01n + 92235U ? 53139I + 3995Y + 2 01n? (The atomic mass of 139I is 138.926103 u and that of 90Y is 94.912821 u). Answer in MeV
A Uranium-235 atom undergoes fission in the following net reaction (induced fission involves an intermediate step as U-236 which we will ignore): U-235 --> X + Y + 2n U-235 is the 'parent', X and Y are 'daughters' (= fission products), n = free neutron. 1 u = atomic mass unit = 1.66 x 10-27 kg mn = mass of a neutron = 1.008665 u mp = mass of a proton = 1.007825 u 1 eV = 1.602 x 10-19...
Moderating a Neutron In a nuclear reactor, neutrons released by nuclear fission must be slowed down before they can trigger additional reactions in other nuclei. To see what sort of material is most effective in slowing (or moderating) a neutron, calculate the ratio of a neutron's final kinetic energy to its initial kinetic energy, Kf/Ki, for a head-on elastic collision with each of the following stationary target particles. (Note: The mass of a neutron is m 1.009 u, where the...
