    The control rods are what give a steady output of energy after the fission process has taken place. They control the number of spare neutrons as a great amount are produced during a chain reaction with the nuclei. These control rods are usually made of the material cadmium or boran and they absorb excess nuclei in order the control the amount of free flowing neutrons so they do not become to excessive which would create larger amounts of heat. The rate that the energy is produced can be changed…

    Fission is a reaction when the nucleus of an atom, gets a neutron, and then splits into two or more nuclei. This causes a release in significant amounts of energy as well as more neutrons. These neutrons then go on to split more nuclei and a chain reaction takes place. Fusion is basically the reverse process of fission. In this situation the nuclei collide instead and join together to form an atom larger than helium. Nuclear power plant use fission to produce very large amounts of energy. Enough…
