Heavy water is used as moderator in a nuclear reactor. The function of the moderator is |
To control the energy released in the reactor To absorb neutrons and stop chain reaction To cool the reactor faster To slow down the neutrons to thermal energies |
To slow down the neutrons to thermal energies |
