Question

section 24.3 continued
in your textbook, read about the process of by which electrical energy is produced in a nuclear power plant.
use the following diagram to complete the passage.
in a nuclear power plant, energy is produced in the reactor core by fission reactions that occur in uranium - containing bars called (18) fuel rods. the uranium is found at location (19) c in the diagram. the rate at which the nuclear reaction takes place is controlled by other bars called (20) control rods. these bars of metal are found at location (21) f. one of the important safety factors in the power plant is a strong dome - shaped structure surrounding the reactor. the structure is labeled (22) a in this diagram and called (23) containment structure

Explanation:

Step1: Identify fuel rods

Fuel - containing uranium are fuel rods.

Step2: Locate uranium

Uranium is in fuel rods at location C.

Step3: Identify control rods

Rods controlling reaction rate are control rods.

Step4: Locate control rods

Control rods are at location F.

Step5: Identify safety structure

Dome - shaped safety structure is containment structure at location A.

Answer:

(18) Fuel rods
(19) C
(20) Control rods
(21) F
(22) A
(23) Containment Structure
