State
A controlled reactor relies on a moderator to slow neutrons for fission, control rods to regulate reaction rate, and a coolant to carry heat away.
Show
Inserting control rods further into the core absorbs more neutrons, slowing fission and reducing power output.
Watch for
Each component performs one distinct role — treating them as interchangeable, or one alone as controlling, misreads the system's balance.
Unlocks
