Each nuclear fission of ${}^{235}U$ releases $200 \text{ MeV}$ of energy. If a reactor generates $1 \text{ MW}$ power,then the rate of fission in the reactor is:

  • A
    $3.125 \times 10^{16}$
  • B
    $3.125 \times 10^{10}$
  • C
    $3.125 \times 10^8$
  • D
    $3.125 \times 10^6$

The explosive in a Hydrogen bomb is a mixture of ${ }_1 H^2, { }_1 H^3$ and ${ }_3 Li^6$ in some condensed form. The chain reaction is given by:
${ }_3 Li^6 + { }_0 n^1 \rightarrow { }_2 He^4 + { }_1 H^3$
${ }_1 H^2 + { }_1 H^3 \rightarrow { }_2 He^4 + { }_0 n^1$
During the explosion,the energy released is approximately:
[Given: $M(Li^6) = 6.01690 \ amu, M({ }_1 H^2) = 2.01471 \ amu, M({ }_2 He^4) = 4.00388 \ amu$,and $1 \ amu = 931.5 \ MeV$] (in $MeV$)
