Question 17 (2 points) Saved Uranium-235 is used as a nuclear fuel for Canadian made CANDU nuclear power plants. During one such fission reaction, a uranium-235 atom is split by a fast moving neutron to produce krypton-84, samarium-149 and an unknown number of neutrons. Determine the number of neutrons produced by this reaction, record that value in blank #1. Determine the energy released by the reaction, in MeV, record that in blank #2. Isotope Mass (u) Uranium-235 235.043930 Krypton-84 83.911507 Samarium-149 148.917185 Neutron 1.008665 Blank # 1 2 A/ Blank # 2 184.8566 A
