A nuclear power station delivers 1 GW of electricity for a year from uranium fission. Giventhat a single fission event delivers about 200 MeV of heat, estimate the number of atomsthat underwent fission, their mass, and the loss of mass of the fuel elements.
Uranium 238 undergoes radioactive decay through a series of stages, producing lead 206 (image attached). Dating analysis reveals that in a certain rock there is 0.228 mol of lead-206 for every mole of uranium-238. If all of the lead-206 is assumed to originate from uranium-238, the time since the formation of this rock is approximately :

After a star uses up its hydrogen by fusing it all into helium, one of the next processes to become prevalent is fusion of helium nuclei to form carbon (shown below). How much energy (in kJ) is released for each mole of C formed? helium-4 = 4.002603 amu carbon-12 = 12.000000 amu 3 He 1 ати D 1.492 х 10-10 J
3. PuO2 has a density of 11.5 g cm- and a specific heat capacity of 330 J kg' K-1. A particular old sample (i.e. one that has 'partially decayed*) of PuO2 produces 0.440 kW kg' of heat due to internal radioactive decay. > The power output of a 2.00 cm' sample of this partially decayed' PuO2 is therefore 10.2 J/s. PuO, melts at 2673 K and its latent heat of fusion is 245 kJ kg:!. If we place our 2.00 cm block in a well insulated and heat resistant container when it is at 300 K, then how long is it before the whole block is melted?
A nuclear power plant operates by using the energy released in nuclear fission to convert liquid water at Tc into steam at Th. How much water could theoretically be converted to steam by the complete fissioning of a mass m of 235U if the energy released per fission event is E?
