A typical uranium - 234 fission event releases 208 MeV ofenergy. Determine (a) the energy released per event in joulesand (b) the change in mass during the event.
The energy released by each fission within the core of a nuclear reactor is 2.00 × 102 MeV. The number of fissions occurring each second is 4.10 × 1019. Determine the power (in watts) that the reactor generates.
Suppose enriched uranium containing 3.70% of the fissionable isotope 23592U is used as fuel for a ship. The water exerts an average friction force of magnitude 2.50  105 N on the ship. How far can the ship travel per kilogram of fuel? Assume that the energy released per fission event is 208 MeV and the ship's engine has an efficiency of 20.0%.    please  answer should be in km
