Question

Part B A nuclear power plant operates at 40.0% efficiency with a continuous production of 1202 MW of usable power in 1.00 year and consumes 1.23x10$^6$ g of uranium-235 in this time period. What is the energy in joules released by the fission of a single uranium-235 atom? Express your answer numerically in joules per atom.

Step 1

00 year. We can do this by multiplying the power output (1202 MW) by the time (1.00 year) and converting it to joules. 1 MW = 1,000,000 watts 1 year = 365 days = 365 * 24 hours = 365 * 24 * 60 minutes = 365 * 24 * 60 * 60 seconds So, the total energy produced Show more…
