Question 85

The energy released per kilogram of nuclear fuel in a fission reaction is 540 000 GJ540\ 000\text{ GJ}540 000 GJ.

The energy released per kilogram of fuel in burning wood biomass is 0.018 GJ0.018\text{ GJ}0.018 GJ.

Calculate the ratio of the energy released in fission compared with the energy released in burning wood biomass.

Use the equation:

ratio=energy released from fissionenergy released by burning wood biomass \text{ratio} = \frac{\text{energy released from fission}}{\text{energy released by burning wood biomass}} ratio=energy released by burning wood biomassenergy released from fission​
