Question
Calculate power output of 
reactor, If it takes 30 days to use up 2 kg of fuel, and if each fission gives 185 MeV of useable energy. Avpgadro′s number = 6 × 10-3 /mol ?
reactor, If it takes 30 days to use up 2 kg of fuel, and if each fission gives 185 MeV of useable energy. Avpgadro′s number = 6 × 10-3 /mol ?Options
A.56.3 MW
B.60.3 MW
C.58.3 MW
D.54.3 MW
Solution
No. of 235U atoms in 2kg of fuel
fission energy per atom = 185 MeV
∴ Energy for 2kg of fuel
× 185MeV
Power =
(∵ 1MeV = 1.6 × 10-13J, 30 days = 30 × 24 × 60 × 60sec)
∴ Power =
MW = 58.3MW
fission energy per atom = 185 MeV
∴ Energy for 2kg of fuel
× 185MeV Power =
(∵ 1MeV = 1.6 × 10-13J, 30 days = 30 × 24 × 60 × 60sec)
∴ Power =
MW = 58.3MWCreate a free account to view solution
