NUCLEAR FISSION CHAIN NUCLEAR FISSION CHAIN REACTIONREACTION

BUT, IN A NUCLEAR REACTOR:fission neutrons are fast, of more than 1 megaelectron-volt (MeV) energy,& need to be slowed down or moderated to thermal energy (0.025 eV),to increase probability of further U-235 fission & sustain reaction.slowing down through collision of fast neutrons with moderator atoms,with most commercial nuclear power reactors using water as moderator.need to control neutron population or flux

with control rods or neutron absorbers, e.g. boron, cadmium, hafnium or gadolinium,

to avoid runaway chain reaction.certain fission products, especially xenon-135 (Xe-135),can readily absorb neutrons or be neutron poisons,which can inhibit the nuclear chain reaction. need to remove fission heat with reactor cooling system& the moderator can also be the coolant, especially water.

Uranium price increase in recent years due to dynamics of global uranium supply and demand itself,i.e. flooding at McArthur River mine in Saskatchewan, Canada, with largest known high-grade uranium deposits in the world, in 2003, temporary shutdown of Honeywell uranium conversion plant in Metropolis, Illlinois, USA, in late 2004 to early 2005, uncertainties over continued operation of Rössing mine in Namibia, fire at the multi-mineral Olympic Dam mine in South Australia,and advent of uranium hedge funds in 2005,with underlying positive outlook for nuclear power due to concerns over global warming & Kyoto Protocol.
