31.

State the functions of the following in a nuclear reactor:-

i) Moderator ii) Control rods iii) Coolant 


i) Moderator – It shows down the speed of moving neutrons to allow the nuclear fission of uranium.

ii) Control rods – They absorb the extra neurons which are released during the nuclear fission reaction. They absorb that much neurons so that only one neuron is left to carry out controlled nuclear fission. They are made of boron and cadmium.

iii) Coolant – It absorbs the heat released during nuclear fission reaction. It is used to carry the energy of the fission reaction from the core of the reactor and take it to a place of utilization in steam generator.
