$A$ nuclear reactor provides power of $300 \, MW$. If $170 \, MeV$ of energy is released per fission of a $U^{235}$ nucleus, then the number of uranium atoms undergoing fission per hour is:

$A$ $1000 \; MW$ fission reactor consumes half of its fuel in $5.00 \; y$. How much $_{92}^{235} U$ (in $kg$) 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.

$U^{235}$ nuclear reactor generates energy at a rate of $3.70 \times 10^7 \text{ J/s}$. Each fission liberates $185 \text{ MeV}$ of useful energy. If the reactor has to operate for $144 \times 10^4 \text{ s}$, then the mass of the fuel needed is (Assume Avogadro's number $= 6 \times 10^{23} \text{ mol}^{-1}$, $1 \text{ eV} = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \text{ J}$) (in $\text{ kg}$)
