(Solved):
A fission reaction that would occur in a nuclear reactor is \[ { }_{0}^{1} n+{ }_{92}^{235} U \lon ...
A fission reaction that would occur in a nuclear reactor is \[ { }_{0}^{1} n+{ }_{92}^{235} U \longrightarrow{ }_{54}^{143} \mathrm{Xe}+{ }_{38}^{90} \mathrm{Sr}+3 \times{ }_{0}^{1} n+\mathrm{E} \] where \( \mathrm{E} \) is the amount of mass energy released. The atomic masses are given below. Calculate the mass energy released.l where \( u= \) the atomic mass unit \( =931.5 \mathrm{MeV} / c^{2} \). (A) (in MeV)
(B) Take the result of \( (A) \) to be an average fission. How many fissions per second would be required to generate total power \( =1 \mathrm{GW} \) ? \[ \left(\operatorname{in} \mathrm{s}^{\boldsymbol{\wedge}}-1\right) \]
