Identify the moderator used in a neutron moderator. 

  1. Water
  2. Solid graphite 
  3. Heavy water 
  4. All of the above 

hintHint:

Water and solid graphite are some moderators used in nuclear reactors.

The correct answer is: All of the above 


    • The moderators are used to slow down the fast neutrons formed from fission.
    • Water is a widely used moderator that can be used as a cooler too.
    • Solid graphite and heavy water are some other moderators used in nuclear reactors.
