Nuclear Fusion
Nuclear fusion is a type of nuclear reaction. In nuclear fusion, two or more than two lighter atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus. During this process, an enormous amount of energy is released. This energy is called nuclear energy. Nuclear fu…
Fusion Bomb
A fusion bomb is also known as a thermonuclear bomb or hydrogen bomb which releases a large amount of explosive energy during a nuclear chain reaction when the lighter nuclei in it, combine to form heavier nuclei, and a large amount of radiation is relea…
Question

I asked this question once and the answer returned was correct, but I couldn't follow the work so I'm hoping you can write it more clearly:

A proposed nuclear reactor facility will have an electrical power output of 805 MW with a 30.2% efficiency in converting nuclear to electrical power. Assuming the average fission reaction produces 227 MeV, how many reactions will take place at the facility every second?
