The answer is $my word....$ $"my word...."$

Explanation:

All chemical and physical process obey the laws of thermodynamics....and you will have to look at the definitions in your text....

To simplify, the first law says $you can't win$ $"you can't win"$ ....and the second law says $you can't break even either...$ $"you can't break even either..."$ .

In a nuclear power station, electricity is provided in the same way as fossil fuel-powered power stations....water is heated to give steam, the which drives a turbine, and electricity is generated. However, here, there is some conversion of the mass of $^{235} U$ $""^235U$ to energy, and of course here Einstein's famous equation operates.... $E = m c^{2}$ $E=mc^2$ ...

$_{92}^{235} U + 1 \cdot neutron \to$ $""_92^235U +1*"neutron"rarr""$ $_{56}^{141} B a +$ $""_56^141Ba+$ $""_36^92Kr+3*"neutrons"+Delta$
