It is proposed to use the nuclear fusion reaction \[_{1}^{2}H+_{1}^{2}H\to _{2}^{4}He\]in a nuclear reactor of 200 MW rating. If the energy from the above reaction is used with a 25 per cent efficiency in the reactor, how many grams of deuterium fuel will be needed per day. (The masses of \[_{1}^{2}H\]and \[_{2}^{4}He\]are 2.0141 atomic mass units and 4.0026 atomic mass units respectively)

Answer:

119.00
