The energy released in the fusion of
2 kg of hydrogen deep in the sun is
EH and the energy released in the fission of
2 kg of
235U is
EU. The ratio
EUEH is approximately:
(Consider the fusion reaction as
411H+2e−→24He+2v+6γ+26.7 MeV, energy released in the fission reaction of
235U is
200 MeV per fission nucleus and
NA=6.023×1023)
