Nuclear Physics And Radioactivity Question 249
Question: It is proposed to use the nuclear fusion reaction $ _{1}^{2}H+ _{1}^{2}H\to _{2}^{4}He $ in a nuclear reactor of 200 MW rating. If the energy from the above reaction is used with a 25 per cent efficiency in the reactor, how many grams of deuterium fuel will be needed per day. (The masses of $ _{1}^{2}H $ and $ _{2}^{4}He $ are 2.0141 atomic mass units and 4.0026 atomic mass units respectively)
