Nuclear reactivity Boiling Water Reactor

The composition of boron carbide is approximately 80 atomic percent boron. The material is often considered as a source of boron, without the high reactivity of the latter. Like boron, B4C has a high neutron capture cross-section for thermal neutrons and a low secondary gamma radiation. As such, it provides an excellent neutron absorber and is used extensively to control the neutron flux in nuclear fission reactors, such as the boiling water, pressurized water, and fast breeding reactors. It is also used for the compact storage of spent fuel rods.l l... [Pg.322]
