Question
Which material is used as a moderator in a nuclear power
plant that slows down the neutrons and makes them fit for causing fission?Solution
In a nuclear power plant, materials such as graphite or heavy water (deuterium oxide, D₂O) are used as moderators. These materials slow down the neutrons, making them more likely to cause fission when they interact with nuclear fuel.
