A $1000 \;MW$ fission reactor consumes half of its fuel in $5.00\; y$. How much $_{92}^{235} U$ (in $kg$) did it contain initially? Assume that the reactor operates $80 \%$ of the time, that all the energy generated arises from the fission of $_{92}^{235} U$ and that this nuclide is consumed only by the fission process.
