Waves notes section 5 - Nuclear radiation
... 1. The fuel rods are made of uranium which produces energy by fission. 2. The moderator, normally made of graphite slows down neutrons that are produced in fission, since a nucleus is split more easily by slow moving neutrons. 3. The control rods are made of boron, and absorb neutrons when lowered ...
