Chapter 21, Problem 59E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The function of controls rods, the substance used to prepare them and the reason for their use in the nuclear power reactor is to be determined.

Concept Introduction: The control rods in nuclear power reactor made up of boron or cadmium used for controlling the chain reaction. It absorbs extra neutrons present in the chain reaction and maintains it to the moderate level. The cadmium and boron are used in control rods because it absorbs neurons and converts into the non radioactive isomer.

To determine: The functions of control rods, the substances used to prepare them; also the reason for their use in the nuclear power reactors.
