Consider a nuclear power plant to be put up to deliver `4 xx 10^(3)MW` power.
(a) what will be the ratio of consumption of `.^(235)U` to operate this plant for 1 year ?
(b) Typically 3% of the `.^(235)U` mass is converted into `._(38)^(90)Sr`, which is a beta emitter, with half life 29 yrs. What is the beta activity in the Sr produced in curies, just after the end of 1 yr. Assume 200 MeV is the average yield per fission of `.^(235)U`.
