SOLUTION:
From conservation of energy we see that at each
interface, the energy in must equal the energy out.

SOLUTION:
Between ENERGY IN ENRICHED
URANIUM and ELECTRICAL there
should be HOT STEAM and KINETIC.
From HOT STEAM and KINETIC there
should be a HEAT LOSS and FRICTION.

FYI
Do NOT use latitude as a reason for this question.
The question specifically states that it is concerned
with only a particular region having a variation, so its
latitude does not change.
