Question

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

Answer 1

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

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

Step-by-step explanation:

given

fuel enrichment = 2.2%
