The mechanism of the hydrogen bomb is based on

$A$ nucleus ${}^{220}X$ at rest decays by emitting an $\alpha$-particle. If the kinetic energy of the daughter nucleus is $0.2 \, MeV$,the $Q$-value of the reaction is ........ $MeV$.

In a reactor, $2 \, kg$ of ${ }_{92} U ^{235}$ fuel is fully used up in $30$ days. The energy released per fission is $200 \, MeV$. Given that the Avogadro number, $N_A = 6.023 \times 10^{26} \, \text{per kilo mole}$ and $1 \, eV = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, J$. The power output of the reactor is close to $..... \, MW$.

An $\alpha$-particle of energy $E$ is liberated during the decay of a nucleus of mass number $236$. The total energy released in this process is
