As of January 2009, the USA has produced 60,000 metric tons of nuclear waste in 60 yesrs of operating 104 nuclear power plants. on average how much waste is produced by each plant on a monthly basis?

a. 0.8 tons p. month

b. 83.3 tons p. month

c. 104 tons p. month

d. 866.3 tons p. month

 a. 0.8 tons p. month.

Explanation:

Given: Total nuclear waste = 60,000 metric tons

Time take = 60 years = 12 x 60 months   [ 1 year = 12 months]

=  720 months

Total nuclear power plants = 104

Now , Average  waste produced by each plant =

Hence, 0.8 tons p. month is produced by each plant.

So, option a. is correct.

Explanation:

a gas, having a molecular weight of 13 kg/kmol and a kinematic viscosity of 0.25 cm2/s, flows through a pipe 0.25 m internal diameter and 5 km long at the rate of 0.4 m3/s and is delivered at atmospheric pressure.
