Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is option 2):(Energy obtained by fission of 1 kg uranium )
Concept:
- 8 kWh of heat energy can be generated from 1 kg of coal. Energy obtained by burning 1500 tonnes of high-grade coal is 12,000,000 kWh.The low-grade coal will produce heat energy less than the high-grade coal.
- 12 kWh from 1 kg of mineral oil
- 24,000,000 kWh from 1 kg of uranium-235.
- Thorium-based nuclear power generation is fueled primarily by the nuclear fission of the isotope uranium-233 produced from the fertile element thorium. The energy produced by 1 kg thorium is less than uranium-235.
- Energy obtained by fission of 1 kg uranium can result in a large amount of energy production
