Problem

A power reactor operates at 30\% thermal–electrical efficiency and consumes 1.0 kg1.0\,\text{kg} of 235U^{235}\text{U} per day to supply a fixed electrical output. If the efficiency is improved to 60\% while the electrical output remains the same, the approximate daily consumption of 235U^{235}\text{U} will be (a) 0.6 kg0.6\,\text{kg} (b) 0.5 kg0.5\,\text{kg} (c) 2.0 kg2.0\,\text{kg} (d) 0.7 kg0.7\,\text{kg}
