a) Use the masses of the nuclides involved to determine where it is endogenic of exoergic. b) If it is exoergic, find the amount of energy released, if it is exoergic find the threshold energy.

3) Find the threshold energy for the following reaction:

Reactors

Due at the end of Week 8

This week’s Lab will be a little different. Since we are focusing on nuclear reactors and their uses, please write a 2 page research paper on the major different types of nuclear reactors.

Be sure to include ones inside and outside the United States. Make sure to include the basic operations and also include problems that have affected these and any solutions that were used to solve these problems. You do not have to follow the report format here, just follow the usual APA format here.
