Lesson-17.1.2- understand how a nucleus of U-235 can be split (the process of fission) by collision with a neutron, and that this process releases energy as kinetic energy of the fission products.PreviousLesson-17.1.4- describe the role played by the control rods and moderator in the fission process. understand the role of shielding around a nuclear reactor.Next
