In a reactor, 2 kg of 92U235 fuel is fully used up in 30 days. The energy released per fission is 200 Mev. given that the Avogadro number, N = 6.023 × 1026 per kilo mole and 1 eV = 1.6 × 10–19 J. The power output of the reactor is close to :
(1) 54 MW
(2) 60 MW
(3) 125 MW
(4) 35 MW

Correct answer: (2) 60 MW
Explanation:
P = E/t
= 2/235 x 6.023 x 1026 x 200 x 1.6 x 10–19/ 30 x 24 x 60 x 60 = 60 W
