Problem

In a reactor, 2 kg of 92235U{}_{92}^{235}\text{U} fuel is fully used up in 30 days. The energy released per fission is 200 MeV. Given that the Avogadro number, N=6.023×1026N = 6.023 \times 10^{26} per kilo mole and 1 eV=1.6×10−19 J1 \text{ eV} = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \text{ J}. The power output of the reactor is close to:
