Question:
A certain shale deposit containing 0.006% U by mass is being considered for use as a potential fuel in a breeder reactor. Assuming a density of 2.5 g/cm3, how much energy could be released from 1.00 x 103 cm3 of this material? Assume a fission energy of 3.20 x 10-11 J per fission event (that is, per U atom).
