Control rods are device used in nuclear reactors to control the fission rate of a nuclear reaction.
Explanation:
- Rods, plates or tubes are filled with materials like Boron or cadmium or silver or any other material that have the ability to absorb neutron in high amount, to make the control rods.
- The control rods can control the speed of the nuclear reaction. If the rods are partially immersed in the reactor, the reaction will slow down.
- The reaction can be stopped by fully inserting the rod or accelerated by fully removing the rod. Boron tipped with graphite is an example of control rod.
