Question
The function of heavy water in a nuclear reactor to
Options
A.show down the neturons
B.increase the neutrons
C.stop the electrons
D.none of these
Solution
In a nuclear reactor are needed for nuclear reactions. The product of nuclear reaction is also neutrons. But fast neutrons can not induce nuclear reactions. It requires to be slowed down. Fast neutrons cannot transfer its energy to the target atom effectively due to its high velocity is reduced.For it we used heavy water .
