MCQ
Molten sodium is used in nuclear reactors to :
- AAbsorb neutrons in order to control the chain reaction
- BSlow down the fast neutrons
- ✓Absorb the heat generated by nuclear fission
- DExtract radio $-$isotopes produced in the reactor
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Absorb the heat generated by nuclear fission
Molten sodium is used in nuclear reactors due to its high thermal conductivity properties, it is used as a coolant i.e. to absorb the heat produced during nuclear fission.
