Approximately how many fission events will occur in one


Assume that (i) the energy released per fission event of 235U is 208 MeV, and (ii) 30% of the nuclear energy released in a power plant is ultimately converted to usable electrical energy. Approximately how many fission events will occur in one second in order to provide the one GW electrical power output of a typical power plant? (1 eV = 1.6 x 10-­19 J)
