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...
