The purpose of a moderator in a nuclear reactor is to ______?

جوہری ری ایکٹر میں ماڈریٹر کا مقصد ______ ہے؟

Slow down fast neutrons to increase the probability of capture by uranium

Shield the reactor operator from dangerous radiation

Provide neutrons for the fission process

None of these

Moderators (like water or graphite) reduce the speed of fast-moving neutrons.

It making them more likely to be absorbed by uranium nuclei.

This increases the efficiency of the fission reaction, sustaining a controlled chain reaction in the reactor.
