Consider a system of nuclear power plants that produce 3400MW. (a) What total mass of 235/92U fuel
Question:
(a) What total mass of 235/92U fuel would be required to operate these plants for 1yr, assuming that 200MeV is released per fission?
(b) Typically 6% of the 235/92U nuclei that fission produce 90/38Sr, a β – emitter with a half-life of 29yr. What is the total radioactivity of the 90/38Sr, in curies, produced in 1yr? (Neglect the fact that some of it decays during the 1-yr period.)

I believe everyone should try to be strong at logic and have good reading habit. Because If you possess these two skills, no matter what difficult situation is, you will definitely find a perfect solution out of it. While logical ability gives you to understand complex problems and concepts quite easily, reading habit gives you an open mind and holistic approach to see much bigger picture.
So guys, I always try to explain any concept keeping these two points in my mind. So that you will never forget any more importantly get bored.
Last but not the least, I am finance enthusiast. Big fan of Warren buffet for long term focus investing approach. On the same side derivatives is the segment I possess expertise.
