U235 (92 protons/143 neutrons) absorbs a neutron and fissionsin to Krypton (36 protons/56 neutrons) and Barium (56 protons/85neutrons) plus 3 neutrons; plus a bunch of energy.
Determine the loss of mass (m) and if E=m*c*c (where c=speed oflight), then what is the energy released ?
Also convert to Mev (millions of electron volts)
Also assume it takes 20 pounds of Uranium to make a bomb andthat 50% chain reacts. Use Avagadro's number (6.02 * 10(23)) toclculate the total energy release.
