Q85
The presence of reflector in nuclear power plants results in
A.
Increased production of neutrons
B.
Complete absorption of neutrons
C.
Controlled production of neutrons
D.
Decreased leakage of neutrons
AnswerAnswer: Option D
Solution
Answer: Option D
Solution:
The presence of reflector in nuclear power plants results in Decreased leakage of neutrons.A reflector is a region of unfueled material surrounding the core. Its function is to scatter neutrons that leak from the core, thereby returning some of them back into the core. This design feature allows for a smaller core size.
