Homework 5 If a single fission reaction produces about 180 MeV of energy use Avogadro s law to calculate the number of grams of the fissile elements that would release 1 kT of TNT equivalent of energy Assume that all the energy released is available except for the energy carried away by the antineutrinos as well as the delayed fission products beta particles and gamma rays which are not fully recoverable Hint Use Avogadro s law to estimate the number of nuclei in a given weight of the fissile material 0 6 1024 1 2 6 1025 180 1 44 1023 1 1 1 235 1 44 1023 235 56 21 6 1023 2 239 1 44 1023 239 57 17 6 1023 3 233 1 44 1023 233 55 73 6 1023 4 237 1 44 1023 237 56 69 6 1023 Run a hypothetical Nukemap simulation of a 100 kT nuclear device targeting the city of Champaign Illinois Report the level of casualties and effects of a 1 000 foot high burst The number of estimated fatalities is 54 060 and the number of estimated injuries is 40 250 The blast will wipe out all of the residents in Champaign and Urbana If the bomb dropped on the engineering quad the fireball radius would wipe out all the buildings and the radiation zone would cover all of the campus causing fast moving winds to be radioactive and tearing down buildings in the near vicinity of the campus
