JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 13. Nuclei

In a reactor, \(2\, kg\) of \({ }_{92} U ^{235}\) fuel is fully used up in \(30\) days. The energy released per fission is \(200\, MeV.\) Given that the Avogadro number, \(N =6.023 \times 10^{26}\) per kilo mole and \(1\, eV =1.6 \times 10^{-19}\, J .\) The power output of the eactor is close to\(.....MW\)

  1. A \(125\)
  2. B \(60\)
  3. C \(35\)
  4. D \(54\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(60\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Number of uranium atoms in \(2 kg\) \(=\frac{2 \times 6.023 \times 10^{26}}{235}\) energy from one atom is \(200 \times 10^{6}\) e.v. hence total energy from \(2 kg\) uranium \(=\frac{2 \times 6.023 \times 10^{26}}{235} \times 200 \times 10^{6} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} J\)…
