6) A typical nuclear power plant uses 23SU (atomic mass 235.04392u) as fuel, outputs i GW of electrical energy, and converts nuclear energy into electrical energy at an efficiency of 60%. a) A particularly common fission reaction produces the fission fragments WICs (atomic mass 140.91963u) and Rb atomic mass 92.92157u). Write the fission reaction yielding these byproducts including all the neutrons (atomic mass 1.00867) and calculate the energy released in MeV) by this reaction. b) Calculate the number of reactions per second the activity of the uranium in the reactor core in Bq) required to make I GW at 60% efficiency Express the result in Ci. Compare this activity to the 17Cs disc source you used in lab e How many grams per day of Ufuel are used up in this power plant? d) Calculate the amount of mass converted into energy per day. Why is this result so much smaller than the answer to parte?
