In a nuclear reactor, heavy water (D_2O) is used as a moderator. Its main function is to:

Energy released in the fission of a single \( {}_{92}\text{U}^{235} \) nucleus is 200 MeV. The fission rate of a \( {}_{92}\text{U}^{235} \) fueled reactor operating at a power level of 5W is:

Binding energy per nucleon of deuteron and Helium nuclei are 1.1 MeV and 7 MeV respectively. If a single Helium nucleus was formed by adding two Deuterons, the energy released is

The half life of a radioactive nuclide is

Choose the correct statement of the following

The radius of an atomic nucleus of mass number \(64\) is \(4.8\;fermi\). Then the mass number of another atomic nucleus of radius \(6\;fermi\) is

The correct option from the following statements is:
Statement 1: Binding energy per nucleon is higher for heavy nuclei \((A > 170)\).
Statement 2: Binding energy per nucleon is lower for light nuclei \((A < 30)\).
Statement 3: Binding energy per nucleon in the range \(30 < A < 170\) is nearly constant since nuclear force is strong and short-ranged.
Statement 4: Binding energy per nucleon is higher for both light nuclei \((A < 30)\) and heavy nuclei \((A > 170)\).

A radioactive isotope \(U^{238}\) decays into \(Pb^{206}\) in a series by emission of \(n_\alpha\) alpha particles and \(n_\beta\) beta particles. Find \(n_\alpha\) and \(n_\beta\):
