A nuclear reaction containing U235 produces 10 MW. Calculate the fission rate assuming that 200 MeV of useful energy is released in one fission?
- \(3.125 \times 10^{17} \mathrm{sec}^{-1}\)
- \(6 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{sec}^{-1}\)
- \(1.5 \times 10^{17} \mathrm{sec}^{-1}\)
- \(2 \times 10^{17} \mathrm{sec}^{-1}\)
Answer
(A) 3.125 10^ 17 sec ^ -1
