Question: 2. (25 Total) Number/Atomic density and atomic fraction. A certain reactor is fueled with High Enrichment Uranium (UO2) fuel. It is enriched to 94.00 w/o

2. (25 Total) Number/Atomic density and atomic fraction. A certain reactor is fueled with High Enrichment Uranium (UO2) fuel. It is enriched to 94.00 w/o (weight percent) 235U,0.03w/o234U,5.97w/o238U with a density of 10.5g/cm3. (w/o is weight percentage) a. Determine the atom (number) densities of 234U,235U,238U, and 17O in this fuel, in atoms/cm /cm3 (17 points) Please give reference to your 17O abundancy. Using natural oxygen abundancy will be sufficient. b. What is the atom fraction/percentage of 235U among all the uranium isotopes in this fuel? (8 points)
