In a nuclear reactor, what is the name given to the ip.q 9ec2+gdgmateriaitt p4tp.3yge5qt6i7z1rq ( 8 nmljw5s ,q8yal used to slow down neutrons in order to cause sy7zi tpnq1,r5qqeyg8(.i8s 54m t 63tlajtw puccessful fissions?
A. Control rod
B. Moderator
C. Heat exchanger
D. Chain reaction
参考答案: B
本题详细解析:
Explanation: The moderator slows down neutrons so that they can cause successful fissions. Without a moderator, neutrons that are the product of other fissions have too much energy to interact with new nuclei such that they cause further fissions to occur. Control rods block the neutrons to reduce the number of chain reaction fissions. The heat exchanger transfers thermal energy to the external steam generator circuit. A chain reaction is a process, not a specific material.
