What rods are housed within a nuclear reactor?
The control rods are housed in a nuclear reactor. They are made of a neutron absorbing material, and are inserted into the reactor core to "soak up" any loose neutrons and thereby keep a chain reaction from forming. Need a link? You got it. Look below."No. it's not control rods!"I had that question for homework and it wasn't control rods because it was 1o across and it was only 4 spaces long.Sincerly,i love youxx
How many control rods are there in a nuclear reactor?
The number of control rods in a reactor will vary with the size and the design.
Which section of a nuclear reactor does nuclear fission occurs?
The fission happens in the fuel, which is usually in fuel rods inside the reactor. The rods are spaced at a particular distance apart and fill the reactor.
Where can you find cadmiums?
nuclear reactor control rods
What are the control rods in a nuclear reactor made of?
The control rods inside a nuclear reactor are made out of Boron.
What is the next step in a nuclear reactor after nuclear fission occurs in fuel rods?
Water is pumped around the fuel rods.
The chain reaction in a nuclear reactor is controlled by inserting what?
control rods.
What are fuel rods in nuclear plants made of?
The fuel rods used in a nuclear reactor are made from uranium 235(U-235).
What absorbs neutrons in a nuclear reactor and begins with C?
We see the use of control rods in a reactor to absorb neutrons. These rods are often made of boron.
How is the rate of the fission in a nuclear reactor controlled?
By the control rods and by the moderator.
Large chamber where fuel rods are located?
Nuclear reactor core
What is a part of a nuclear power plant that undergoes a fission reaction?
Nuclear fission takes place in the nuclear fuel rods that are placed in the reactor core that is situated in the reactor pressure vessel. The reactor pressure vessel is usually situated inside the reactor containment.
