Homework Statement
Find the daily fuel requirements needed for 2 these 2 types of reactions if we need to produce 800MW of power daily.

Hi

I need to find the amount of fuel needed for a nuclear reaction to produce 800MW daily . The reaction is
n + πŸ—πŸ’π‘·π’– πŸπŸ‘πŸ— β†’ πŸ“πŸπ‘»π’† πŸπŸ‘πŸ’ + πŸ’πŸπ‘΄π’ πŸπŸŽπŸ‘ + πŸ‘ 𝒏
Can you please give me a hint on how to do this?



Thank you very much for your help

Per forum rules, you must show some attempt.
You will have a much better chance of getting assistance if you explain the notation ("1+"? "n+"? "2H+1"?).
πŸπ‘― β†’ πŸπ‘―π’† πŸ’ + E looks wrong. Two He4 from only two H?

You quote an equation with terms like "Ma". What would these represent in the present question? Consider the different signs you used (+, -) when answering.
