92U238 on absorbing a neutron goes over to 92U239. This nucleus emits an electron to go over to neptunium which on further emitting an electron goes over to plutonium. The resulting plutonium can be expressed as
94Pu239
90Pu219
93Pu240
92Pu240
The radius of nucleus of silver (atomic number = 47) is 3.4 x 10-14 m. The electric potential on the surface of nucleus is (e = 1.6 x 10-19 C)
1.99 x 106 V
2.9 x 106 V
4.99 × 106 V

Which one of the following is used as a moderator in nuclear reaction?
Uranium
Heavy water
Cadmium
Plutonium
B.
Heavy water
Heavy water is deuterium oxide or D2O or 2H2O. It is used in certain types of nuclear reactors, where it acts as a neutron moderator to slow down neutrons so that they can react with the uranium in the reactor. Because heavy water reactor can be natural uranium, it is of concern in efforts to prevent nuclear proliferation.
