$A$ power of $100 \ W$ is produced by the fission of $1 \ kg$ of $^{235}U$. For approximately how long will the energy production continue?

Slowing down of neutrons: In a nuclear reactor,a neutron of high speed (typically $10^{7} \; m s^{-1}$) must be slowed to $10^{3} \; m s^{-1}$ so that it can have a high probability of interacting with isotope $^{235}_{92}U$ and causing it to fission. Show that a neutron can lose most of its kinetic energy in an elastic collision with a light nucleus like deuterium or carbon,which has a mass of only a few times the neutron mass. The material making up the light nuclei,usually heavy water $(D_{2}O)$ or graphite,is called a moderator.
