144 (a) Compute the energy released in the fission reaction, 23 Pu+y Sr+Ba+3n (b) A different series of fusion reactions can occur in the interior of a star. One such series is the neon-based cycle: 20Neo+H. Na + y NaNe +e+ + v Ne+H Na + y Na Ne + e + v Ne + H Na2 + y Na2 + H 20 Ne0+ He In this case the Neo is neither created nor destroyed. Calculate the total energy release in the neon-based cycle. M(239Pu)=239.052158 u, M(22Sr)= 91.910944 u, M(144Ba)= 143.922840 u, M(20 Ne) 19.992436 u, M(2 Ne)= 20.993843 u, M(22 Ne)= 21.991383 u, M(2 Na)= 20.997651 u, M(2 Na)= 21.994434 u ,M(23 Na)= 22.989768 u, M(4 He)= 4.002603 u, mn=1.008665 u, mp=1.007825 u, mc=0.511 MeV. c =931.5MeV/u 144 (a) Compute the energy released in the fission reaction, 23 Pu+y Sr+Ba+3n (b) A different series of fusion reactions can occur in the interior of a star.
