In a reactor, \(2\) kg of \({ }_{92} \mathrm{U}^{235}\) fuel is fully used up in \(30\) days. The energy released per fission is \(200\) MeV. Given that the Avogadro number, \(\mathrm{N}=6.023 \times 10^{26}\) per kilo mole and \(1~ \mathrm{eV}=1.6 \times 10^{-19}~\text{J}\). The power output of the reactor is close to:
1. \(125 ~\text{MW}\)
2. \(60~\text{MW}\)
3. \(35 ~\text{MW}\)
4. \(54 ~\text{MW}\)

We are given the following atomic masses:
\({ }_{92}^{238} \mathrm{U}=238.05079~\text{u},{ }_2^4 \mathrm{He}=4.00260~\text{u} \\ { }_{90}^{234} \mathrm{Th}=234.04363~\text{u},{ }_1^1 \mathrm{H}=1.00783~\text{u}\\ { }_{91}^{237} \mathrm{~Pa}=237.05121~\text{u} \)

Here the symbol Pa is for the element protactinium \((Z=91)\).

Then:

1. \({}_{92}^{238}\mathrm{U}\) can not spontaneously emit a proton.
2. \({}_{92}^{238}\mathrm{U}\) can spontaneously emit a proton.
3. The \(Q\text-\)value of the process is negative.
4. Both (1) and (3) are correct.
