A thermal reactor is fueled with 2.2% enriched UO, fuel with a density of 10.5 g/cm? What is the volumetric heat generation rate if the flux is 104 n/cm/sec? Hint: you need to calculate the number density of U-235

number of density of U-235 = 6.7 × 10²⁰g/cm³

volumetric heat generated rate = 2.17 × 10³J/cm³.sec

Explanation:

given

fuel enrichment = 2.2%

  the   balanced   equation   for   reaction of   ca metal   with   o2 to   produce   cao   is as below

2 ca+ o2→ 2 cao2

  explanation

the reaction is   balanced     since the   number of atoms   in reactant side is   equal to   number of atoms   in   product side.   for   example   they   are 2   atom of   ca in   reactant   side   and   2   atoms of ca   in   the product side.

  the   process   is a   meet the   requirement   of   redox   reaction because :     calcium   is   oxidized   from   oxidation state 0   to 2+   while   oxygen   is reduced from   oxidation   state   0   to 2-

i believe the answer is 5,000
