1. Compute the binding energy of the 'Li nucleus; the experimentally determined mass of 'Li is 7.016004 amu. 2. How much energy is released in the fission of 1 kg of 235U according to the equation below? The experimentally determine masses of the products are 136.92532 amu (Te-137) and 96.91095 amu (Zr-97). 2359₂U + ³on 137 52 Te +974Zr +2³on 3. An average person is exposed to about 360 millirem of background radiation a year from a variety of sources. Two-thirds of that comes from inhalation of 222 Ra produced in soil. Given that 22²Ra decays by alpha emission, estimate the absorbed dose in a) Joules and b) Grays for a 60 kg person from one-year inhalation of radon.
