The Role of Lead in Reactors

Lead is the element that absorb less neutrons in all of the other table chemical table. So you have a, and that's why we keep a very big layer of lead outside of the course well because neutrons come back and forth. It'll self patch as it leaks, totally understood. And then what about control of control rods or how do you control the rate of reactivity? Yes, we have control rods. There are also external control rods, because there is a lead is a is aVery fast spectrum because it's the moderation is is the lowest. This is one of the systems that we have eliminated all of these fake nuclear bus to absorb the neutrons and to protect the
