ENGINEERING APPLICATION, CONTEXT-RICH You are in charge of determining when the uranium fuel rods in a local nuclear power plant are to be replaced with fresh ones. To make this determination, you decide to estimate how much the mass of a core of a nuclear-fueled electric-generating plant is reduced per unit of electric energy produced. (Note: In such a generating plant the reactor core generates thermal energy, which is then transformed to electric energy by a steam turbine. It requires of thermal energy for each of electric energy produced.) What are your results for the production of (a) of thermal energy? (b) enough electric energy to keep a 100-W light bulb burning for (c) electric energy at a constant rate of for a year? (This is typical of modern plants.)
