At typical nuclear power plants, refueling occurs every 17 months. Assuming that a plant has operated continuously since the last refueling and produces 1.6 GW of electrical power at an efficiency of 25%, how much less massive are the fuel rods at the end of the 17 months than at the start? (Assume 30-day months.)
