For a nuclear reactor, 48 kJ of energy is produced per minute. If the energy released per fission is 3.2 × 10 -11 J, then the number of fission which would be taking place in a reactor per second is

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Given:

Total energy released per minute = 48 kJ

= 48 × 10³ J

Energy produced per second

= 0.8 × 10³ J

Energy release per fission = 3.2 x 10^-11 J

Solution

= 2.5x10¹³

Therefore number of fission per second is 2.5x10¹³.

So the correct answer is D.
