Calculate the binding energy per nucleon of calcium nucleus (_{20}{Ca}^{40}). Given, Mass of _{20}{Ca}^{40} = 39.962589\;u; Mass of neutron m_n = 1.008665\;u; Mass of proton m_p = 1.007825\;u; 1\;u = 931\;MeV.

The isotopes Ra-226 undergoes \alpha decay with a half-life of 1620 years. What is the activity of 1\;g of Ra-226? Avogadro number = 6.023 * 10^{23}\; /mole.

Find the half-life of U^{238}, if one gram of it emits 1.24 * 10^4 \alpha - particles per second. (Avogadro's Number = 6.023 * 10^{23}).

The energy liberated in the fission of a single uranium-235 atom is 3.2 * 10^{-11}\;J. Calculate the power production corresponding to the fission of 1\;gm of uranium per day. Assume Avogadro constant as 6 * 10^{23}\;mol^{-1}.

A city requires 10^7 watts of electrical power on the average. If this is to be supplied by a nuclear reactor of efficiency 20\; \%. Using _{92}{U}^{235} as the fuel source, calculate the amount of fuel required per day (Energy released per fission _{92}{U}^{235} = 200\;MeV).
