The energy released by the fission of one uranium atom is $200 MeV$. The number of fissions per second required to produce $3.2 W$ of power is (Take $1 eV = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} J$).

$A$ certain mass of Hydrogen is changed to Helium by the process of fusion. The mass defect in the fusion reaction is $0.02866 \, u$. The energy liberated per $u$ is ........... $MeV$. (Given $1 \, u = 931 \, MeV$)

Which of the following isotopes is normally fissionable?

The isotope ${}_{5}^{12}B$ having a mass $12.014 \text{ u}$ undergoes $\beta$-decay to ${}_{6}^{12}C$. ${}_{6}^{12}C$ has an excited state of the nucleus $({}_{6}^{12}C^*)$ at $4.041 \text{ MeV}$ above its ground state. If ${}_{5}^{12}B$ decays to ${}_{6}^{12}C^*$, the maximum kinetic energy of the $\beta$-particle in units of $\text{MeV}$ is ($1 \text{ u} = 931.5 \text{ MeV}/c^2$, where $c$ is the speed of light in vacuum).

How long can an electric lamp of $100\; W$ be kept glowing by the fusion of $2.0\; kg$ of deuterium? Take the fusion reaction as $_{1}^{2} H + _{1}^{2} H \rightarrow _{2}^{3} He + n + 3.27\; MeV$.

During the nuclear fusion reaction,
