Estimate total energy released per fission including fragment kinetic and neutron energy. For nuclear physics teaching and rough reactor energy balance.
| Item | Formula / Note | Source / Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Energy per fission | ≈200 MeV per U-235 fission | Nuclear engineering |
| Energy partition | Fragments 168 MeV plus neutrons, gammas | Lamarsh & Baratta |
| Mass-energy | E = Δm·c² | Einstein 1905 |
| Fissile atoms | N = m·N_A/M | Molar conversion |
| Electricity yield | 1 g U-235 ≈1 MW·day thermal | Engineering rule of thumb |
| Burnup unit | MW·d/kgU burnup unit | Fuel cycle terms |
