neutron moderator

In the nuclear power industry, water can also be used as a neutron moderator.

This was the world's first reactor to use heavy water as a neutron moderator.

Ideally, a room temperature neutron moderator is used for this process.

It is used in nuclear reactors as a neutron moderator.

The water would serve as both a neutron moderator and propellant.

In this design, water is the working fluid and also serves as the neutron moderator.

CP-3 was initially fueled with natural uranium and used heavy water as a neutron moderator.

A neutron moderator is used to slow down neutrons in a nuclear reactor.

In some reactors, the coolant also acts as a neutron moderator.

In addition to not being a neutron moderator, desirable physical characteristics include:

They do not have a neutron moderator, and use less-moderating coolants.

The water acts as neutron moderator, cooling agent and radiation shield.

If immersed in water, the uranium halves were subject to a neutron moderator effect.

Graphite blocks in the reactor core serve as a neutron moderator.

This explains the advantage of using neutron moderator in fission nuclear reactor.

What I'm interested in is the fact that heavy water can be used as a neutron moderator in a reactor.

To provide this, neutron moderator materials are used to slow the neutrons, giving off heat that is extracted for power.

A 1 m concrete neutron moderator largely surrounds the set-up.

Common neutron moderators include graphite, ordinary (light) water and heavy water.

The graphite, in addition to being the neutron moderator, also acts as a large thermal heat sink.

Neutron moderators are thus materials that slow down neutrons.

This is done with a neutron moderator.

This is a process especially important for neutron moderators and nuclear reactor vessels (see ductility).

To maximize the chance of fission, they needed a neutron moderator to slow the neutrons down.

For example, you, Eugene, are working with Leo, trying to answer a lot of questions concerning neutron moderators.
