neutron absorption in a sentence

Examples

1. As control rods are inserted, neutron absorption increases in the control material and decreases in the fuel, so reactor power decreases.
2. Hafnium must be removed from zirconium for nuclear applications because hafnium has a neutron absorption cross-section 600 times greater than zirconium.
3. A few others are naturally produced by nucleogenic processes ( natural nuclear reactions of other types, such as neutron absorption ).
4. An increase in fuel temperature also raises U-238's thermal neutron absorption by Doppler broadening, providing negative feedback to help control the reactor.
5. Both have high neutron absorption cross-sections, so that much of them produced in a reactor are later destroyed there by neutron absorption.
6. Also, light water is actually a somewhat stronger moderator of neutrons than heavy water, though heavy water's neutron absorption is much lower.
7. Both have high neutron absorption cross-sections, so that much of them produced in a reactor are later destroyed there by neutron absorption.
8. The disadvantages of lead are its higher density and viscosity, which increases pumping costs, and radioactive activation products resulting from neutron absorption.
9. Furthermore, the neutron absorption spectrum of air is disputed by some authorities, and depends in part on absorption by hydrogen from water vapor.
10. At thermal energy levels, about 5 of 6 neutron absorptions result in fission and 1 of 6 result in neutron capture forming uranium-236.
