A nuclear power plant produces 800 MW of electricity with an overall efficiency of0.32. The fission reaction taking place in the core of the reactor is:

n01+U92235Xe54140+Sr3894+2n01 

 (i) Using the masses provided below show that the energy released in one fission is about 180 MeV

n01=1.009 u ,  U92235=235.044 ,Xe54140=139.992, Sr3894=93.915

(ii) Estimate the specific energy of U-235

(iii)Show that the mass of uranium undergoing fission in one year is about 1500 kg
