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?

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...
