Question
During fission in nuclear power plants, uranium-235 can be used as radioactive material to produce energy. One shoots a neutron at the uranium nucleus, which then splits into two daughter nuclei plus three neutrons according to the reaction Suppose that a certain nuclear power plant splits 4.3% of all uranium nuclei in its reactors according to the formula and that it emits a total output of 3.8 GW. How long does it take for the nuclear power plant to consume 1 kg of uranium?
