Solved: The average yearly background radiation in a
Chapter 9, Problem 59GP(choose chapter or problem)
Consider a system of nuclear power plants that produce 3400 MW. What total mass of \({ }_{92}^{235} \mathrm{U}\) fuel would be required to operate these plants for 1 yr, assuming that 200 MeV is released per fission? (b) Typically
of the \({ }_{92}^{235} \mathrm{U}\) nuclei that fission produce \({ }_{38}^{90} \mathrm{Sr}\), a \(\beta^-\) emitter with a half-life of 29 yr. What is the total radioactivity of the \({ }_{38}^{90} \mathrm{Sr}\), in curies, produced in 1 yr? (Neglect the fact that some of it decays during the 1-yr period.)
