____________ moderator is used in a fast breeder reactor?
Correct answer: D. No
- A. Graphite
- B. Heavy water
- C. Beryllium
- D. No
Explanation
Fast breeder reactors deliberately avoid a moderator so that fission neutrons remain fast. Fast neutrons support breeding of fissile material from fertile uranium-238.
