A fission reactor operates at the 1250-MWe level. Assume all this energy comes from the (average) 200 MeV released by fission caused by thermal neutron absorption by 235U. At what daily rate is the mass of 235U used? (In practice, the energy conversion is not 100% efficient, nor is all the 235U in a fuel cell used.)
