1.Suppose a reactor has a Q-value of 20. If 1 million joules of energy are used to start a fusion reaction, how much energy would be output from the reactor in the form of useful energy such as electricity/

2. Explain how nuclear fusion reactions may generate radioactive nuclear waste.

3. A typical 1000 megawatt coal-fired power plant requires about 2.7 million tons of coal per year. A fusion plant of the kind envisioned by this project would use how many kilos of fuel per year? note that 1 kilo is about 2 pounds.

4. The current Q-record value for a fusion is 0.67. If the ITER works as envisioned, what will be its Q-value?
