Q.7 Atypical nuclear reactor generates 1000 MW (1000 MJ/s) of electrical energy. In doing so, it produces
2000 MW of "waste heat" that must be removed from the reactor to keep it from melting down. Many
reactors are sited next to large bodies of water so that they can use the water for cooling. Consider a
reactor where the intake water is at 18°C. State regulations limit the temperature of the output water to
30°C so as not to harm aquatic organisms. How many liters (approx) of cooling water have to be
pumped through the reactor each minute ? Take specific heat of water = 4200 J/kg. [3]
