(B) The energy released per fission is $E = 200 \text{ MeV} = 200 \times 10^6 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \text{ J} = 3.2 \times 10^{-11} \text{ J}$.Given power output $P = 1.6 \text{ MW} = 1.6 \times 10^6 \text{ W}$.The rate of fission $R$ is given by the formula $R = P / E$.Substituting the values: $R = (1.6 \times 10^6) / (3.2 \times 10^{-11})$.$R = 0.5 \times 10^{17} = 5 \times 10^{16} \text{ fissions/s}$.
