In a nuclear power station, the energy released per kilogram of enriched uranium fuel during fission is 84 000 GJ84\ 000\text{ GJ}84 000 GJ.
By comparison, the energy released per kilogram of fuel when burning high-grade anthracite coal in a conventional thermal power plant is 0.024 GJ0.024\text{ GJ}0.024 GJ.
Calculate the ratio of the energy released per kilogram in nuclear fission compared with the energy released per kilogram in burning anthracite coal.
Use the equation:
ratio=energy released from fissionenergy released by burning anthracite coal \text{ratio} = \frac{\text{energy released from fission}}{\text{energy released by burning anthracite coal}} ratio=energy released by burning anthracite coalenergy released from fission
