Answer:
mass consumed by 235U each day = 2 kg
Explanation:
electrical power produced = 1 GW = 1 × 10⁹ × (6.24151 × 10¹⁸ ) eV
= 6.24151× 10²¹ MeV/s
thermal energy = 0.420 * 250 = 105 MeV
= 5.94 × 10¹⁹ fission/second
=5.94 × 10¹⁹× 24 × 60 ×60)
= 5.13 × 10²⁴ fission/day
mu = 235.04393 × 1.660× 10 ⁻²⁷ = 390.1729× 10⁻²⁷ Kg
M = mu ×5.13 × 10²⁴
= 390.1729× 10⁻²⁷ ×5.13 × 10²⁴
M = 2 kg(approx.)
mass consumed by 235U each day = 2 kg
