Question

Which components of a fission reactor are used to slow neutrons during a fission reaction?

  1. Moderators
  2. Shields
  3. Coolants
  4. Control rods

hintHint:

The moderators are used in nuclear fission reactors to slow down the neutrons.

The correct answer is: Moderators


    • Nuclear fission produces high-speed neutrons.
    • The moderators are used in nuclear power plants to slow down the high speed of neutrons.
    • Water is a widely used moderator.
