How do control rods in a nuclear reactor regulate the rate of nuclear fission?

Control rods in a nuclear reactor regulate the rate of nuclear fission by absorbing neutrons, which are needed to sustain the fission process. By adjusting the position of the control rods, operators can control the number of neutrons available to cause fission reactions, thus regulating the overall power output of the reactor.

Nuclear reactor


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.


What is fission cross section in nuclear reactor?

The fission cross section in a nuclear reactor is a measure of the probability that a neutron will induce fission in a particular nucleus. It is a crucial parameter for determining the neutron flux and reaction rates within the reactor core. Different isotopes have different fission cross sections depending on their ability to undergo fission when struck by a neutron.


What is possibly happen to neutrons produce in a fission reactor?

How is the rate of the fission in a nuclear reactor controlled?

The rate of fission in a nuclear reactor is controlled through the use of control rods made of materials like boron or cadmium. These control rods absorb neutrons, reducing the number available to cause fission reactions, thus regulating the rate of fission. By inserting or withdrawing these control rods into the reactor core, operators can adjust the level of fission and control the reactor's power output.
