Please only reply with completed answer

Determine the specific energy (in MWh/kg) of nuclear fuel that contains 3% (by weight) U-235. Assume that U-235 is the only fissile fuel and fission reaction of one U-235 atom results in 178 MeV of energy release. 1 mol of U-235 contains 6.0221023 U-235 atoms and weighs 235 gm.

1 MeV: 1.60210-13 J
