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

Solution

No. of nuclear spliting per second is
N = S-1
No. of neutrons Liberated = × 2.5 S-1
 = × 1018 S-1
