3. Consider a thermal neutron induced fission in 235U that leads to production of the ission fragment 137Cs, three neutrons, and a second fission fragment. Assume the prompt gamma ray energy is negli...
1. Consider the induced fission of 235U to form 2 fission fragments, 2 prompt fission neutrons with a total kinetic energy of 5.2 MeV, and 7 prompt gamma rays with a total energy of 6.7 MeV. The reaction is shown below: 96x after 139 95 235 ー→ 542 For the specified fission reaction, calculate the following: (a) The prompt energy released for this fission event in MeV (b) The initial kinetic energy of the 140Xe' fission fragment in MeV

a) Calculate the energy released in the neutron-induced fission n + 235U --> 92Kr + 142Ba + 2n given the neutron is 1.008665 u, the mass of is 235 U 235.043924 u, the mass of 92Kr is 91.926269 u, and the mass of 142Ba is 141.916361 u. b) Confirm that the total number of nucleons and total charge are conserved in this reaction. The atomic mass is 1.66053904 X 10-27 kg.
