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

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?

At typical nuclear power plants, refueling occurs every 17 months. Assuming that a plant has operated continuously since the last refueling and produces 1.2 GW of electrical power at an efficiency of 27%, how much less massive are the fuel rods at the end of the 17 months than at the start? (Assume 30-day months.) In this problem, can you explain why you set up E=ET/.27 and not E=ET(.27)?

A nuclear power plant has an electrical power output of 1000 MW and operates with an efficiency of 33%. If the excess energy is carried away from the plant by a river with a flow rate of 1.4e6 kg/s, what is the rise in temperature of the flowing water? Hint: Consider the flow of energy during one second. During that second, the power plant does 1000 MJ of work ?. Knowing the work and the efficiency, you can calculate the...
