Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A moderator is used to slow down neutrons so they can be more easily absorbed and cause fission reactions in nuclear reactors. Moderators are typically made of materials that contain light elements, such as water or graphite, which can effectively slow down fast-moving neutrons through collisions. Protons, alpha particles, beta particles, and photons are not affected by moderators in the same way as neutrons.
