TEST 3 PROBLEM SOLVING

Solve this problem and show your solution.

1. A 700 MW PWR nuclear plant uses 4% enriched uranium fuel has a

thermal efficiency of 35%. The burn up allowed of the fissionable portion
of the fuel is 25%. Calculate how many metric of tons of natural uranium
is placed in the reactor vessel for one year continuous operation?

2. Nuclear power plant is to have a capacity of 700 MW- electrical. How

many pounds of 𝑈235 are needed to operate the plant continuously for 5
years. If the plant capacity factor is 75% and the thermal efficiency is
35%.
