$U^{235}$ 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 $\text{ kg}$)

Complete the following nuclear reaction:
${ }_{0}^{1} n+{ }_{92}^{235} U \rightarrow{ }_{92}^{236} U \rightarrow$ $\qquad$ $+{ }_{41}^{99} Nb+$ $\qquad$.

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 $MeV$)
