Fission of nuclei is possible because the binding energy per nucleon in them

What is nuclear fission and nuclear fusion?

State the principle of an atomic bomb and identify the nuclear process that occurs within it.

Consider the fission of $_{92}^{238} U$ by fast neutrons. In one fission event,no neutrons are emitted and the final end products,after the beta decay of the primary fragments,are $_{58}^{140} Ce$ and $_{44}^{99} Ru$. Calculate the $Q$-value for this fission process. The relevant atomic and particle masses are:
$m(_{92}^{238} U) = 238.05079 \; u$
$m(_{58}^{140} Ce) = 139.90543 \; u$
$m(_{44}^{99} Ru) = 98.90594 \; u$
$m(_{0}^{1} n) = 1.008665 \; u$

In a nuclear power station,uranium is used for the production of .......

The rest mass of an electron as well as that of a positron is $0.51 \, MeV$. When an electron and a positron annihilate, they produce gamma-rays of wavelength(s):
