Definitions:

Fuel Rods

Cylindrical tubes containing fissionable material, used in nuclear reactors to generate heat through nuclear reactions.

Nuclear Reactors

Facilities used to generate energy through controlled nuclear reactions, often for electricity production.

Nuclear Fission

A nuclear reaction in which a heavy nucleus splits into smaller nuclei with the simultaneous release of energy.

Control Rods

Components used in nuclear reactors to control the rate of fission by absorbing neutrons, critical for maintaining a safe and stable nuclear reaction.
