question 72

Multiple Choice

Why might the following nuclear reaction not be very good for energy production in a fission reactor? $\begin{array} { c } 235 \\92\end{array}$ U ? $\begin{array} { c } 229\\90\end{array}$ Th + $\begin{array} { c } 4\\2\end{array}$ He + 3 neutrons

• A)The material only produces a few neutrons so the chain reaction will not be very efficient.
• B)The reactants are too small to obtain much energy from the missing mass due to the strong nuclear force.
• C)The products are not the right size to obtain much energy from missing mass due to strong nuclear force.
• D)The mass of the byproducts is too high and therefore the energy released will not be large enough.
• E)Interatomic attraction between the products will impede the separation of the atoms from the unstable nuclei.
