Energy released in the fission of a single 92U235 nucleus is 200 MeV. The fission rate of a 92U235fuelled reactor operating at a power level of 5W is.
A
1.56×10+10s−1
B
1.56×10+11s−1
C
1.56×10+16s−1
D
1.56×10+17s−1
Answer
1.56×10+11s−1
Explanation
Solution
FissionEnergy=2006muMeV=200×106×1.6×10−19J
Fission rate =2006muMeV5=1.56×1011fission/sec.
