[Problem 15-5, p.679 in Henry and Heinke.] Some of the important characteristics of each of the reactors at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station are as follows:
Thermal output: 1744 MW
Number of fuel channels: 390
Fuel bundles per channel: 12
Uranium content per fuel bundle: 19.8 kg
Total weight of fuel bundle: 23.7 kg
Length of fuel bundle: 49.5 cm
Outside diameter of fuel bundle: 10.2 cm
Average burnup of fuel: 7500 MWd thermal/tonne U
Assume that each reactor achieves a capacity factor [CF] of 0.8, where CF = (Actual energy
produced) / (Perfect production). Calculate:
a) The number of new fuel bundles per reactor required for each day of operation.
b) The length of a rectangular container of cross-section, 2.6 m x 2.6 m, required to accommodate one year's output of spent fuel from each reactor. Assume that each bundle fits inside a rectangular box of outside dimensions 10.4 x 10.4 x 50 cm.

For the reaction A+B+C→D+E, the initial reaction rate was measured for various initial concentrations of reactants. The following data were collected: Trial [A] (M) [B] (M) [C] (M) Initial rate (M/s) 1 0.20 0.20 0.20 6.0×10−5 2 0.20 0.20 0.60 1.8×10−4 3 0.40 0.20 0.20 2.4×10−4 4 0.40 0.40 0.20 2.4×10−4 Rate law equation The rate of a chemical reaction depends on the concentrations of the reactants. For the general reaction between Aand B, aA+bB⇌cC+dD The dependence of the reaction rate on the concentration of each reactant is given by the equation called the rate law: rate=k[A]m[B]n where k is a proportionality constant called the rate constant. The exponent m determines the reaction order with respect to A, and n determines the reaction order with respect to B. The overall reaction order equals the sum of the exponents (m+n).
