What is the function of shielding in a nuclear reactor?

Progreso Lakes

to contain radiation, to absorb free neutrons, to slow neutrons, or to nonchalant the reactor?

We maintain our radiation dose ALARA - as low as reasonably achievable by 1. reducing time 2. increasing distance 3. shielding. Shielding is placing material (like lead, concrete, water) between you and the source of radiation.

Which shielding? The outer shielding contains radiation. Rods in the reactor capture neutrons and are second-hand to control the reaction rate. Have a face at thishttp://www. howstuffworks. com/atomic-pow…
