He amount of U235 to be fissioned to operate 10kW unclear reactor is (approximately)

Neglecting non-fission neutron captures by U-235, 1 Kg of U-235 produces about 82 TW of thermal power. Going by this, to produce 10 KW of thermal power from fission of U-235 the amount of it to be split is ~12 picograms!
