Calculate fuel pellets of uranium dioxide required


If a home operates on an average of 1.1 kW electricity, how many fuel pellets of uranium dioxide (UO2) are required to operate the home for 1 year. Assume that each enriched fuel pellet is 10mm in length, 9mm in diameter, is 95% theoretical density (theoretical density of UO2 is 10.97g/cc), and that 5% of the uranium content is fissioned during its time in the reactor producing power.
