The fission properties of 23994 Pu are very similar to those of 23592U. The average energy released per fission is 180 MeV. If all the atoms in 1 kg of pure 23994Pu undergo fission, then the total energy released in MeV is
- 4.53 × 1026 MeV
- 2.21 × 1014 MeV
- 1 × 1013 MeV
- 6.33 × 1024 MeV
Answer
(A) 4.53 × 10 26 MeV
