If $200 \, MeV$ energy is released in the fission of a single ${U^{235}}$ nucleus, the number of fissions required per second to produce $1 \, kW$ power shall be (Given $1 \, eV = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, J$)

Assertion: Energy is released when heavy nuclei undergo fission or light nuclei undergo fusion.
Reason: For heavy nuclei,binding energy per nucleon increases with increasing $Z$,while for light nuclei,it decreases with increasing $Z$.

Imagine that a reactor converts all given mass into energy and that it operates at a power level of $10^9\, W$. The mass of the fuel consumed per hour in the reactor will be: (velocity of light,$c = 3 \times 10^8\, m/s$)
