In a nuclear reaction (involving atomic nuclei only), the sum of kinetic energies of the product nuclei was found to be greater than that of the reactants. This means that:
1. some nucleons are created
2. some nucleons are destroyed
3. energy is converted into mass
4. mass is converted into energy

Given the following particle masses:
\(m_p=1.0072~\text{u}\) (proton)
\(m_n=1.0087~\text{u}\) (neutron)
\(m_e=0.000548~\text{u}\) (electron)
\(m_\nu=0~\text{u}\) (antineutrino)
\(m_d=2.0141~\text{u}\) (deuteron)
Which of the following processes is allowed, considering the conservation of energy and momentum?

1. \(n+p \rightarrow d+\gamma\)
2. \(e^{+}+e^{-} \rightarrow \gamma\)

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. \(54 ~\text{MW}\)
