Question

What happens to the neutrons produced in a fission reaction?

Select all that apply.

They combine to form a new element.
They are converted from mass into energy.
They can initiate other fission reactions.
They can be absorbed by control rods.

Answer 1

Who's gone through and disliked everything? lol

Answer 2

so whats the answer

Answer 3

When the reactor goes "critical" the neutrons cause more and more atoms to disintegrate. In other words those neutrons initiate more and more fissions that create more and more neutrons. If it runs out of control, boom.

Answer 4

so I would pick 3 and 4

Answer 5

so the third one?

Answer 6

so the last of the four is also important.

Answer 7

oh i picked two and three

Answer 8

Energy is given off all right but not as neutrons

thanks

The control rods can be inserted to absorb some neutrons and avoid the situation running out of control.
