Summary

Description
English: Schematic drawing of control rods in a nuclear reactor. With the control rods down, the reaction is subcritical: too many neutrons are absorbed for a chain reaction to take place. Pulling up the rods makes the reactor critical, and the fuel rods start producing heat.
Nederlands: Schematische weergave van regelstaven in een kernreactor. Wanneer de staven neergelaten zijn, is de reactie subkritisch: er worden te veel neutronen geabsorbeerd om een kettingreactie te laten lopen. Wanneer de staven worden uitgetrokken, kan de reactor kritisch worden, en de brandstofstaven gaan warmte produceren.
