What do you get when you convert 92U^238 (uranium) by conversion process and reacting with neutron?(a) 94Pu^239(b) 94Pu^231(c) 94Pu^241(d) 94Pu^244I had been asked this question in unit test.The above asked question is from Gaseous Fuels & Nuclear Fuels topic in portion Steam Power Plant of Energy Engineering

Answer» RIGHT CHOICE is (a) 94Pu^239

The BEST I can explain: CONVERSION process of uranium 92U^238

92U^238 + 0n^1 -> 92U^239 + γ – radiation

92U^239 -> 93Np^239 (Neptunium) + -1e^0 (Electron)

93Np^239 -> 94Pu^239 + -1e^0
