show the steps please

1. (8 pts) A NPP generates 414 MWyr electricity in 9 months at a capacity factor of 92%. What is its electrical power? Ans. 600 MWe 2. (12 pts) Calculate amount of thermal energy [in MWd] released from the fissioning of all of 1 gram Plutonium-239 (Pu-239), the molar mass of which is 239 gram/mol. Ans. 0.1345 MWd DATA 200 MeV per fission 1 Joule = 6.2415 x 1018 eV Avogadro's number = 6.022 x 1023 atom/mol HINT: Find the number of atoms in 1 gram Pu-239, multiply that number by 200 MeV, and convert MeV to Mwd
