$A$ $^{235}U$ 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 $144 \times 10^4 \text{ s}$, 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 $\text{ kg}$)

The binding energy of deuteron $_1^2H$ is $1.112 \, MeV$ per nucleon and an $\alpha$-particle $_2^4He$ has a binding energy of $7.047 \, MeV$ per nucleon. Then in the fusion reaction $_1^2H + _1^2H \to _2^4He + Q$,the energy $Q$ released is ........ $MeV$.

$_1H^1 + _1H^1 + _1H^2 \to X + _1e^0 + \text{Energy}$. The emitted particle $X$ is ........?

$A$ nucleus with mass number $220$ initially at rest emits an alpha particle. If the $Q$ value of the reaction is $5.5 \ MeV$,calculate the kinetic energy of the alpha particle. (in $MeV$)

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 $Z$.
