Which statement is NOT true about the nuclear reactor?
|
|
The moderator is used to speed up the neutrons
|
|
|
Uranium core acts as source of energy
|
|
|
The control rod is used to absorb the excess neutrons
|
|
|
Water acts as coolant to remove the heat produced from the reactor
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A nuclear reactor uses control rods, generally made of Cadmium to switch on or switch off the energy generation process. A nuclear reactor uses moderators to slow down the neutrons to continuously generate the energy. No worries!
Detailed explanation-2: -Neutron moderators are a type of material in a nuclear reactor that work to slow down the fast neutrons (produced by splitting atoms in fissile compounds like uranium-235), to make them more effective in the fission chain reaction.
