Calculate the energy released during fission of 1 kg of U235 as per following fission process:
$${^1_0}n + {^{235}{92}}U \rightarrow {^{141}{56}}Ba + {^{92}{36}}Kr + 3{^1_0}n + \gamma$$
Assume masses of different elements and particles in unified atomic mass scale, u, (1u = $1.6604 \times 10^{-27}$ kg) are: $m_n$: 1.00879u; $m_U$: 234.9855u; $m{Ba}$: 137.8716u; $m_{Kr}$: 94.877u;

One unit of Rooppur nuclear power plant will produce 1200 MW. How much of Uranium fuel (${92}U^{235}$) need to be used for producing 1200 MW for one year? The fission reaction is as follows,
$${92}U^{235} + {0}n^{1} \rightarrow {56}Ba^{137} + {36}Kr^{97} + 2{0}n^{1}$$
Neutron =1.008665 amu, ${92}U^{235}$ = 235.043915 amu, ${56}Ba^{137}$ = 136.9061 amu, $_{36}Kr^{97}$ = 96.9212 amu, 1 amu = $1.6605402 \times 10^{-27}$ kg, C = $2.997925 \times 10^8$ m/s, Avogadro's number = $6.02252 \times 10^{23}$ molecules/gmole.
