Answer #1

More informacion is needed, for example:

Compute the atom densities of 235U and 238U in UO2 of physical density 10.8 g/cm3
if the uranium is enriched to 3.5 w/O in 235 U.

Nuclear Fission If you consider all of the possible fission chains starting with U-235, the average amount of energy released per fission is about 200 MeV. A typical nuclear fission power plant produces 850 Megawatts of electrical power. Assume the plant has an overall efficiency of 30.0% (so 30% of the energy produced by fission is converted into electrical energy). Calculate the total mass of U-235 (in kg) consumed in one year. For informational purposes, if you take the total...

Burning 20 tons of coal provides about  joules, which is approximately the annual energy requirement of an average person in the United States. If this amount of energy was provided by the electricity generated by the fission of uranium-235 in a nuclear reactor, instead, what mass of natural uranium would be required? About 0.7% of natural uranium is uranium-235 (almost all the rest is uranium-238, which does not fission like U-235 does). Assume that the fission of each U-235 atom provides...
