A typical nuclear reactor generates 1000 mw1000mjs


A typical nuclear reactor generates 1000 MW(1000MJ/s) ofelectrical energy. In doing so, it produces 2000 MW of"waste heat" that must be removed from the reactor to keep it frommelting down. Many reactors are sited next to large bodies of waterso that they can use the water for cooling. Consider a reactor where the intake water is at 18 degrees celsius. State regulationslimit the temperature of the output water to 30 degreescelsius so as not to harm aquatic organisms.

Question
a) How many liters of cooling water have to be pumped through the reactor each minute. The answer should be in Liters/min.
