8-4. Carry out the rudimentary design of a small modular nuclear reactor which delivers 100 MW. The reactor is based on a Rankine cycle where the steam is expanded in a turbine from 12.5 MPa and 350C to condensed water at 5 kPa. Assume that the generator is 98% efficient, the actual cycle achieves 90% of the efficiency of the ideal cycle, and 90% of the thermal energy released in the nuclear reactions is transferred to the working fluid. (a) If the reactor uses uranium as a fuel which is enriched to 3% U-235, what mass of fuel is consumed each year? (b) What is the flow rate of steam in kg/s required when the reactor is running at full power
