$A$ nuclear fission process is given by $A^{240} \rightarrow B^{100} + C^{140} + Q$ (energy). If the binding energy per nucleon for nuclei $A, B,$ and $C$ are $7.6 \, MeV, 8.1 \, MeV,$ and $8.1 \, MeV$ respectively,then the energy $Q$ released is approximately $...... \, MeV$.

The nucleus $_{92}U^{234}$ splits exactly in half in a fission reaction in which two neutrons are released. The resultant nuclei are

If the energy released in the fission of one nucleus is $200 \, MeV$, then the number of nuclei required per second in a power plant of $16 \, kW$ will be:
