What is Controlled Nuclear Reactions Explained about?

Controlled nuclear fission requires maintaining a ratio of around 1 neutron released for every 2-3 neutrons absorbed to sustain the reaction without it dying out or becoming uncontrolled. Most reactors use control rods made of neutron-absorbing materials like boron or cadmium to control the reaction. Moderators like water or graphite are also used to slow fast neutrons to optimal energy levels.
