Correct Answer: Slow down the neutrons.


Solution : The answer is to Slow down the neutrons .

Moderators are employed in nuclear reactors to delay or reduce the speed of fast-moving neutrons. The fundamental job of moderators is to increase the likelihood of nuclear fission by lowering neutron kinetic energy , making them more effective in sustaining a nuclear chain reaction.
