A 3000 MWt fast reactor has a 42% efficiency. This reactor operates for 23 months followed by a 1 month down time for refueling

and maintenance. If this reactor operates at an average power of 1200 MWe, what is the capacity factor and availability factor over this 2 year period?

Answer:

capacity factor = 0.952

Availability factor = 0.958

Explanation:

1) capacity factor

capacity factor = actual power output /  maximum power output

                        = (actual power output)/(efficiency * rated power output)

                       = \frac{1200}{\frac{42}{100}*3000}

= 0.952

2) Availability factor

Availability factor  = Actual operation time period/ total time period

                            = 23/24 = 0.958

With reference to He-4 (or the diagram), explain the term isotopes.
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Isotopes are basically atoms of an element that have an unequal number of neutrons and protons. Of course the proton number remains the same, but the neutron number either decreases or increases, which leads to an overall change in mass. However, no chemical properties of the atom/element are changed as the electrons are the same number and do not react. In regards to Helium 4, the original number of neutrons in Helium is 2, and protons 2 as well. We see an equal number of neutrons and protons, hence an unchanged mass, and the element is <em>not</em> an isotope.

Lithium-6 has a mass of 6.0151 amu and lithium-7 has a mass of 7.0160 amu. The relative abundance of Li-6 is 7.42% and the relat
horsena [70]
Average atomic mass is the weighted average atomic masses with regard to the relative abundance of the isotopes 
average atomic mass of Li = relative abundance of Li-6 x mass of Li-6 + relative abundance of Li-7 x mass of Li-7
average atomic mass of Li = (7.42% x 6.0151 a.m.u) + (92.58% x 7.0160 a.m.u)
                                           = 0.446 + 6.495
                                           = 6.941 amu
average atomic mass of Li is 6.941 amu
