Question

How much energy is released in nuclear fission U235?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

In the fission product nuclei, the medium binding energy per nucleon amounts to approx. 8.5 MeV. This difference in binding energy of 0.9 MeV per nucleon is released in the nuclear fission. Since the uranium nucleus has 235 nucleons, a quantity of energy of about 210 MeV is released per fission.
