Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a nuclear reactor using Uranium-235. If 1 kg of Uranium undergoes fission and releases a total energy of 200 MeV per reaction, determine how many reactions are needed to produce 1 GJ of energy.

💡 Hint: Consider both the energy per reaction and the total energy needed.

Question 2

Discuss the societal impacts of nuclear fission, considering both benefits (energy production) and risks (nuclear weapons). Provide a balanced perspective.

💡 Hint: Think about the broader implications of harnessing such powerful energy.
