Boron is a very good absorber of neutrons, and it is used in control rods and as a soluble material sometimes, to adjust the reactivity state of the reactor.
Boron is used to make alloy as Boron steel which is used to protect radiation from nuclear reactor in Nuclear plants.
Boron is used inside a nuclear reactor inside a control rod which is used to 'soak' up the neutrons inside the nuclear reactor, a control rod can be used to control the rate of fission inside a nuclear reactor.
The control rods inside a nuclear reactor are made out of Boron.
We see the use of control rods in a reactor to absorb neutrons. These rods are often made of boron.
Uranium

Boron Carbide.
Boron is used in flares, propellant mixtures, nuclear reactor control elements, abrasives, and hard metallic alloys
Usually boron is alloyed with steel, boron is a very good neutron absorber.
No, Enriched Uranium-235 is used in a nuclear reactor as the fuel in the fuel rods and boron is used in the control rods.
The control rods inside a nuclear reactor are made out of Boron.
Cadmium is a very strong absorber of neutrons and therefore can be used to control the chain reaction and to shutdown the reactor when required. Boron is also often used for the same purpose.
Not a nuclear reactor!
We see the use of control rods in a reactor to absorb neutrons. These rods are often made of boron.
This is used in the nuclear reactor that is known as Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) in which heat produced by the nuclear fission in the nuclear fuel allows the light water reactor coolant to boil. Then, the nuclear reactor moisture separator is used to increase the dryness of the produced steam before it goes to the reactor steam turbines.
Never a nuclear reactor is used in airplanes. However, it is used in submarines.
