Mechanical Engineering

Assume the average home requires an electrical power of 1.2kW,an average life expectancy of 75 years, and only power from nuclearenergy. For such a homeowner, what would be the lifetime generationof vitrified high level waste (HLW) in kg and liters (assumingreprocessing and recycling of U and Pu). Recall from our notes andhandouts for chapter 7, the vitrified waste containers in Francehold the HLW equivalent of 1.5 fuel recycled assemblies with anenergy production of 1 TWh (1E+12 Wh). Compare this to some commonsize object such as a soda can for ease of conversation. Of course,this ignores other energy needs/requirements for such a person.Explain. How might nuclear power be used to meet these needsalso?
