In a nuclear reactor an element X decays to a radioactive element Y at a constant rate 10 5 atoms per sec Each decay releases 100MeV energy Y immediately decays to a stable product Z Each decay of Y releases 50MeV All energy released inside the reactor is used to produce electricity at an efficiency of 25 Calculate the electrical power in kW generated in the reactor in steady state Take eV 1 6 10 J
