Which of the following will not influence the rate at which nuclear reactions will occur in a nuclear power plant where the fuel elements are a mixture of 235U and 238U? a. the percentage of 235U relative to 238U b. the presence of moderating material c. the presence of control rods d. the percentage of the energy that is used to produce electricity
Only The percentage of energy that is used to produce electricity wont affect the rate, rest all affects the rate.
Parent nuclei deside speed of rate, control rod is used to slow rate and moderating material is used to lesses the speed of emited particles
