The following fission reaction is a typical of those occuring in a nuclear electric generating station.
(1_0n) + (235_92U) → (141_56Ba) + (92_36Kr) + 3(1_0n)
(a) find the energy in the reaction. The mass of neutron = 1.008665u, mass of Ba-141 = 140.914411u, mass of Kr-92 = 91.926156u and mass of U-235 = 235.043930u
Fission of one nucleus uranium-235 yields an average of approximately 200 MeV. What mass of uranium produces the energy of 3.30 x 10^10 J in fission?
What are the similarities and differences between fusion and fission?
What factors makes a terrestrial fusion reaction difficult to achieve?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of fission reactors from the point of view of safety, pollution and resources. Make a comparison with power generated from the burning of fossil fuels.
A wooden artifact is found in an ancient tomb. Its carbon-14 activity is measured to be 60% of that in a fresh sample of wood from the same region. Assuming the same amount of C-14 was initially present in the artifact as is now contained in the fresh sample, determine the age of the artifact.

The radioactive isotope 198Au has a half-life of 64.8h. A sample containing this isotope has an initial activity of 40.0 Bq. Calculate the number of nuclei that decay in the time interval between in 2h.
A sample of radioactive material contains 1.00 x 10^15 atoms and has an activity of 6.00 x 10^11 Bq. What is it's half-life?
Which of the fuel conditions is not necessary to operate a self-sustained controlled fusion reactor?
(A) the fuel must be at a sufficiently high temperature
(B) the fuel must be radioactive
(C) the fuel must be at a sufficiently high density.
(D) the fuel must be confined for a sufficently long period of time.
