At the risk of being completely pedantic, if it's 65% efficient, it would be need to dissipate 15.38 watts to move 10 watts (10/.65).
Or, I could be completely misreading what you said, which is highly likely.

Reply to comment by Dravous in If nuclear fission in U-235 causes the atom to be split into 2 smaller atoms (such as Kr-92 and Ba-141) then how is it that U-236 is produced as waste since the U-235 was just split into smaller peices? by Ian98766
It's way less likely to do so, it might however absorb more neutrons and turn into another fissile nuclei down the line

can that U236 then react with a neutron and get you fission?

Is there another factor that influences the probabilities? I want to get 3 dimensional
