Question
Chapter 24, Problem 63A
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The purpose of control rods in a nuclear reactor needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Nuclear fission forms energy that is achieved by nuclear reactors. This energy is used to form electricity at nuclear power plants.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 63A
Control rods are used to control fission rate of neutron and uranium.
Explanation of Solution
Nuclear reactors occurs fission which bombard neutrons and uranium. Uncontrollable nuclear reaction causes an explosion. To control fission rate of neutron and uranium control rods are used. In a nuclear reactor control rod supply the purpose of absorbing neutrons.
Conclusion
Within a nuclear reactor the fission is initiated by a neutron-emitting source and is stopped by positioning of the control rods as it absorbs all of the neutrons which are produced in reaction.
