What is the role of control rods in a fission reaction?
what is the role of control rods in a fission reaction
How do control rods speed up or slow down fission?
slows down fission
How is the rate of the fission in a nuclear reactor controlled?
By the control rods and by the moderator.
What does lower control rods result in?
We lower control rods to cool or shut down a nuclear reactor. Lowering control rods allows those rods to absorb more neutrons, and this limits or shuts the fission chain down.
Brakes are to a car as control rods are to a nuclear-fission chain reaction - true or false?
true

What is the function of a control rods reactor?
Control rods are used in a reactor to control the rate at which fission happens.
How do control rods speed up or slow down fission?
slows down fission

What is a device that controls the rate of nuclear fission reactions?
Control rods are used.
A nuclear reactor produces energy from uncontrolled fission?
False, the fission in nuclear reactors is controlled with the movable control rods.
Which safety feature works to slow down nuclear fission chain reactions?
control rods APEX USERS
What are hanger rods in regard to power plants?
Hanger rods are used in nuclear power plans as a means by which to control the fission reactions and thereby prevent meltdowns. The rods absorb free neutrons and thus limit the number of fission reactions taking place at any given moment. To this extent, rods can be either added or taken away to control the fission rate (and consequently the power output)
What controls the rate of nuclear fission?
Control Rods absorbs outgoing.. & prevents overheating
What is the function of the control rods in a power plant?
The control rod would have a tendency to absorb neutron which is the key for nuclear fission. So by inserting control rods such as Cadmium or Boron rods the reaction rate can be reduced. If we take off the rods the rate of reaction would increase.
