According to the Energy Information Agency, their current (2018) contribution to the overall power generation in the US is 36%; the numbers in parentheses show the contribution of each of the listed sources:

The energy equivalent of an electron is 0.511 MeV/c2 and there are 92 of then in an Uranium atom, so after subtracting the total mass of the electrons, we get the value of 2.188950209105MeV/c2 for the mass of the nucleus.

In the last range c the end is really the pressure limit or the break of the model and the isothermal model is more appropriate to describe the flow.

Ammonia flows in one direction in the inner tube, and water flows in the opposite direction in the space between the outer surface of the inner tube and the inner surface of the outer tube (source: aop).

Extracting a portion of work ΔW from the system would be equivalent with taking a portion of entropy ΔS=ΔW/T away from it - so, in consequence, to lowering the system entropy, which is strictly forbidden by the Second Law.
