Question
In a uranium reactor whose thermal power is P = 100 MW, if the average number of neutrons liberated in each nuclear splitting is 2.5. Each splitting is assumed to release an energy E = 200 MeV. The number of neutrons generated per unit time is -
Options
A.4 × 1018 s-1
B.8 × 1023 s-1
C.8 × 1019 s-1
D.
× 1018 s-1
× 1018 s-1 Solution
No. of nuclear spliting per second is
N =
S-1
No. of neutrons Liberated =
× 2.5 S-1
=
× 1018 S-1
N =
S-1No. of neutrons Liberated =
× 2.5 S-1=
× 1018 S-1Create a free account to view solution
