What is used in control rods in nuclear power plants?

Control rods in nuclear power plants are typically made of materials like cadmium, boron, or hafnium. These materials help regulate the nuclear reaction by absorbing excess neutrons, which helps to control the rate of fission and maintain nuclear reactivity at a stable level. The position of the control rods can be adjusted to manage the power output of the reactor.


How are nuclear chain reaction to controlled in nuclear power plants?

Nuclear chain reactions in nuclear power plants are controlled by inserting control rods made of materials like boron or cadmium into the reactor core. These control rods absorb neutrons, reducing the number available to sustain the chain reaction. By adjusting the position of the control rods, operators can regulate the reactor's power output.
