Nuclear Reactions Revision Questions

1. Which is the unknown element X participating in the nuclear reaction

1. Proton
2. Electron
3. Positron
4. Neutron

Reveal AnswerCorrect Answer: D

2. Giving that for every single fission of Uranium-235 nuclei there is 220 MeV of energy released, calculate the power of nuclear power plant that consumes 192 kg Uranium-235 in a day if the power plant has a 20% efficiency. Take the atomic mass of U-235 equal to 235.04393 u; 1 u = 6605 × 10^-27 kg and 1eV = 1.6 × 10^-19 J; 1 day = 86400 s.

1. 40 GW
2. 200 GW
3. 120 MW
4. 200 MW

Reveal AnswerCorrect Answer: A
