Control Rods. The nuclear chain reaction may be controlled using a device called a control rod. Control rods are made of materials which absorb neutrons. Thus, when a control rod is inserted into a nuclear reactor it reduces the number of free neutrons available to cause the uranium atoms to fission.
Nuclear fuel pellets are compounds consisting of center and outside shell where in most world's nuclear reactors, the center contains a brittle uranium blend, and the solid outside shell is made of a metallic alloy containing the element zirconium.ukushima accident and the search for safer nuclear power plants. The working principle in each nuclear plant starts with fission. The typical core of a nuclear power plant uses the heat generated by fission of uranium and plutonium in fuel rods to heat and then pressurize water.
