Identify each of the following and indicate its purpose in a fission reactor. Clear All Pellets of enriched uranium oxide are embedded into rods and covered with water in the reactor core. Fuel Part of the reactor that composed of cadmium or boron and absorb extra neutrons, regulating the number of neutrons that impact nuclei and maintaining a steady rate of fission. Sometimes it can be inserted between the fuel rods to slow or stop the reaction. Moderator Part of the reactor where fast neutrons interact with water molecules and slow down, so that effective collisions can occur with nuclei. Other materials, including graphite and "heavy water" can be used instead of water for this purpose. Control rods Water carries the heat released in the reaction to the steam turbine. Coolant Steam turns the turbine, and electricity is generated.
