Neutrons are slowed down in a nuclear reactor by – (1) Fissionable Material (2) Moderator (3) Control rods (4) Cooling system

Description : Neutrons are slowed down in a nuclear reactor by – (1) Fissionable Material (2) Moderator (3) Control rods (4) Cooling system

Last Answer : (2) Moderator Explanation: In thermal nuclear reactors, the coolant acts as a moderator that must slow down the neutrons before they can be efficiently absorbed by the fuel. It allows neutrons to slow down to energies where they can easily cause a nucleus to fission.
