The energy lost during the day's operation is 1.66 ×10⁸ MJ
It is a type of power plant in which the power is generated with the help of a nuclear reactor involving a nuclear which could be either nuclear fission or fusion reaction.
As given in the problem The Pickering nuclear power plant has a powerful energy of 3100 MW.If the power plant is 38% efficient,
38 % efficient means 62% power is lost
power lost = 62/100×3100 MW
= 1922 MW
The energy lost in a day = 1922×24×60×60
=166060800 MJ
=1.66 ×10⁸ MJ
Thus, The energy lost during the day's operation is 1.66 ×10⁸ MJ
