Recall that the solar constant-the flux of solar energy reaching Earth's vicinity- is about 1390 W/m^2.) (The distance from the sun = 1 AU= 1.50×10¹¹ m.) The Sun's energy originates from a chain of fusion reactions; each reaction chain releases 26.7 MeV of mass energy.At what rate does the Sun lose mass? Express the result in kilograms per year.(in kg/yr)A: 5.379x10¹6 B: 6.294x1016 oC: 7.364x10¹6 D: 8.616x1016 E: 1.008x1017 OF: 1.179x1017 G: 1.380x10¹7 H: 1.614x1017

We want to get an idea of the actual mass of 235U involved in powering a nuclear power plant. Assume that a single fission event releases 200 MeV of thermal energy. A 1,000 MWe electric power plant has a thermal power of approximately 3,000 MWth. What rate of fission reactions is required to produce this power? (Note: 1 eV = 1.6 × 10−19 J.) The reactor core consists of approximately 100 tonnes of UO2 (1 tonne = 1,000 kg), which is enriched in 235U to 4%. How many full-power years could the reactor operate if all of the 235U were to be fissioned? What factors prevent such complete depletion of the 235U from occurring?
