a) (15 p) We consider a nuclear reactor of power output P=1000 Megawatt (1000 million watts) electric, functioning with Plutonium. It is fueled, initially, with 1000 kg of Plutonium. The nuclear material in question is made of Plutonium nuclei, each 239 consisting in 94 protons and 239-94-145 neutrons, which is denominated by the symbol 94Pu. For thermodynamical rd reasons, only 1/3 of the nuclear energy in the form of heat produced by the reactor, can be converted into electricity. How...
