A 1000 MW fission reactor consumes half of its fuel in 5.00 y. How much `""_92^235"U"` did it contain initially? Assume that the reactor operates 80% of the time, that all the energy generated arises from the fission of `""92^235"U"` and that this nuclide is consumed only by the fission process.

Calculate and compare the energy released by a) fusion of 1.0 kg of hydrogen deep within Sun and b) the fission of 1.0 kg of ²³⁵U in a fission reactor.

Suppose India had a target of producing by 2020 AD, 200,000 MW of electric power, ten percent of which was to be obtained from nuclear power plants. Suppose we are given that, on an average, the efficiency of utilization (i.e. conversion to electric energy) of thermal energy produced in a reactor was 25%. How much amount of fissionable uranium would our country need per year by 2020? Take the heat energy per fission of ²³⁵U to be about 200MeV.
