June Poll Insights

Last month, we asked our audience What element slows neutrons in reactors? Overall, the most voted for answer was Heavy Water at 82 percent of the vote. Sodium Liquid received the second most votes at 11 percent and Carbon Dioxide the third most votes at eight percent. Finally, Helium Gas received the least amount of votes at zero percent.

The correct answer is Heavy water. Heavy water (D2O) is used as a moderator in some reactors because it slows down neutrons effectively and also has a low probability of absorption of neutrons.
