The fission is controlled by inserting rods made of a material that absorbs the neutrons. This keeps the reaction from continuing, or slows the chain reaction.

Can Nuclear fission be controlled?
Yes. Nuclear power plants and nuclear powered ships and submarines use controlled fission reactions.
Mechanism and container for controlled fission is called?
A nuclear reactor
What is the place where controlled nuclear fission reactions take place?
In the core of a nuclear reactor
Can the chain reaction of nuclear fission be stopped or controlled?
The chain reaction can be controlled, and it can be stopped. It is controlled in a nuclear power plant, and it is stopped when the plant shuts down, as it does periodically for refueling.
A fission chain reaction can be controlled by using materials that will?
Absorb neutrons. Examples are boron and cadmium
Can Nuclear fission be controlled?
Yes. Nuclear power plants and nuclear powered ships and submarines use controlled fission reactions.
A nuclear reactor uses the energy from a controlled?
nuclear fission
The controlled release of nuclear energy in a reactor is accomplished by?
fission
Mechanism and container for controlled fission is called?
A nuclear reactor
A nuclear reactor produces energy from uncontrolled fission?
False, the fission in nuclear reactors is controlled with the movable control rods.
How is the rate of the fission in a nuclear reactor controlled?
By the control rods and by the moderator.
Do nuclear plants use fission or fusion to create electricity?
Fission. We don't have the technology to fuse atoms in a controlled way yet.
What is the meaning of nuclear reactor?
It is a device where a controlled nuclear fission chain reaction occurs.
What is meant by nuclear reactor?
It is a device where a controlled nuclear fission chain reaction occurs.
What is the place where controlled nuclear fission reactions take place?

Can the chain reaction of nuclear fission be stopped or controlled?
The chain reaction can be controlled, and it can be stopped. It is controlled in a nuclear power plant, and it is stopped when the plant shuts down, as it does periodically for refueling.
What part of the nuclear powerplant does the chain reaction occur?
In the reactor core, which is the volume filled with the fuel assemblies
