produced, 'm' is loss in weight 'c' is the velocity of light in vacuum vz 3 x 1010cm per second, we can calculate the energy so produced. As a matter of fact the correct weight of Uranium U235 is 235.124 (Atomic mass unit), that of Neutron (n1) is 1.0089 Amu. After disintegration the fixed Atomic weight of Isotope Kripton (Kr95) is 94-945 Amu, that of Barium (Ba139) is 138-955 Amu. Thus Atomic weight before disintegration was 235 12410089 or 236 1329 Amu, and after disintegration the resulting weight is.
94-945138.955+20178-235-9178 Amu.
Difference viz loss of Uranium so used is 0.2151 Amu. Substituting these values in the formula ^E=mc2 we get.

Actually energy obtained is between 195 and 200 MEV. In 1 Kilogram of Uranium235, energy produced is 2× 107 Killowatts an hour This huge energy so produced is utilized in preparation of steam, which when dashing against the turbine, propells it and this in turn rotates the Reactor (Strong magnet rotating in copper coils) and thus Atomic Power (Electricity) is produced. Such power houses by atomic fission work at Trom near Bombay, Tarapur and Kotah etc.
