Question

The premise of a nuclear power plant is to use uranium:

a) Pellets in the fuel rods to generate heat while using control rods to prevent a meltdown
b) Fuel rods to generate heat while using control rods to prevent a meltdown
c) Pellets in the control rods to regulate energy coming from the fuel rods
d) Control rods to control the energy coming from the fuel rods

Answer 1

The premise of a nuclear power plant is to use fuel rods to generate heat while using control rods to prevent a meltdown.

Step-by-step explanation:

The premise of a nuclear power plant is to use fuel rods to generate heat while using control rods to prevent a meltdown. The fuel rods contain uranium pellets, which are a source of nuclear fuel. The control rods, made of neutron-absorbing material, regulate the chain reaction and control the release of heat.
