Which of the following would increase the rate of fission in a nuclear reactor? (Select all that apply.)a handsome absent the administrate rods touch on the reactorb removing fuel rods beat it the reactorc adding more control rods to the reactord using a demote percentage cognizant of 235U touch on the fuele pushing in the control rods in the reactor



Nortonville

I would say the answer is a. The control rods absorb the excess protons and limit the level of fission. So by removing them you would increase the amount of fission.



Sylacauga

a. If you take out the rods, the rate of fission starts to increase and it becomes more radioactive.
