Problem 63P

A nuclear power plant produces an average of 1.0 × 103 MW of power during a year of operation. Find the corresponding change in mass of reactor fuel, assuming all of the energy released by the fuel can be converted directly to electrical energy. (In a practical reactor, only a relatively small fraction of the energy can be converted to electricity.)
