(a) If each fission reaction of a ²³⁵₉₂U nucleus releases about 2.0 × 10² MeV of energy, determine the energy (in joules) released by the complete fissioning of 1.0 gram of ²³⁵₉₂U.

(b) How many grams of ²³⁵₉₂U would be consumed in one year to supply the energy needs of a household that uses 30.0 kWh of energy per day, on the average?
