| 1. | All LWRs use ordinary water as both coolant and neutron moderator.
|
| 2. | In some reactors, the coolant also acts as a neutron moderator.
|
| 3. | A 1 m concrete neutron moderator largely surrounds the set-up.
|
| 4. | This explains the advantage of using neutron moderator in fission nuclear reactor.
|
| 5. | The water acts as neutron moderator, cooling agent and radiation shield.
|
| 6. | Ideally, a room temperature neutron moderator is used for this process.
|
| 7. | It is used in nuclear reactors as a neutron moderator.
|
| 8. | Heavy water is used as a neutron moderator and coolant for nuclear reactors.
|
| 9. | Neutron moderators are thus materials that slow down neutrons.
|
| 10. | Common neutron moderators include graphite, ordinary ( light ) water and heavy water.
