Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

In a nuclear power plant, if the control rods are only partially inserted, how does this affect the fission reaction?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how controlling neutron absorption impacts the reaction.

Question 2

Calculate the total energy produced if 1 kg of Uranium-235 undergoes complete fission. (Mass defect = 0.1 kg for 1 fission event).

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use Avogadro's number to find the total number of atoms in 1 kg.
