The Q value of a nuclear reaction A+bC+d is defined by Q=mA+mb-mC-mdc2 where the masses refer to the respective nuclei. Determine from the given data the Q-value of the following reaction and state whether the reactions are exothermic or endothermic.

C612+C612N1020e+H24e
Atomic masses are given to be
mHe24=4.002603 u
mC612=12.000000 u
mN1020e=19.992439 u

The fission properties of Pu94239 are very similar to those of U92235. The average energy released per fission is 180 MeV. How much energy, in MeV, is released if all the atoms in 1 kg of pure P94239u undergo fission?

A 1000 MW fission reactor consumes half of its fuel in 5.00 y. How much U92235 did it contain initially? Assume that the reactor operates 80% of the time, that all the energy generated arises from the fission of U92235 and that this nuclide is consumed only by the fission process.
