A new nuclear power plant will use thorium as the fuel to produce energy. Thorium's atomic weight is 229 g/mol and the mass loss in the nuclear reaction process is 0.03 g/mol used. The fuel that the plant will have access to contains 10% of pure thorium. The plant will use a local lake to cool down the process. The engineers plan to pump the lake water at a rate of 1.2 million gallons per minute for the cooldown process. The regulations state that the temperature of the lake cannot rise more than 12 K. Will they meet the regulations with their design?
