To generate a power of 3.2megawatt, the number of fissions of  U235 per minute is
(Energy released per fission=200MeV, 1eV=1.6×1019J )

a
6×1018
b
6×1017
c
1017
d
6×1016

detailed solution

Correct option is A

3.2×106=n200×106×1.6×10−19n is no. per sec.n=3.2×1019200×1.6=1017Per minute -  60×1017=6×1018
