Best Answer

Yes, by introducing a neutron absorber such as boron. In a nuclear reactor this is done by inserting the control rods

The energy from nuclear fission is released as heat?

Initially as kinetic energy of the fission fragments, but this is quickly converted to thermal energy as they are slowed down in the mass of the fuel.

Is the energy of nuclear fission released as heat?

Yes, as heat and radiation Nuclear fission actually releases first fission fragments and other particles with kinetic energy, which then turns to heat as the ejected fission fragments and part of the particles are slowed down within the mass of the solid fuel.


What type of energy is nuclear energy?

Nuclear energy is released in fission when a nucleus is split. A small proportion of the mass of the nucleus is annihilated and converted to free energy. Initially this appears as the kinetic energy of the fission fragments, this is quickly converted to thermal energy as the fragments are slowed down.
