Do moderator in nuclear reactor slows down the neutrons emitted during fission?
Yes, it is the main moderator function in what is called "thermal nuclear reactors"
What are three components of a typical eukaryotic?
The three main components of a eukaryotic cell is the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus. The plasma membrane consists of proteins, phospholipids, and cholesterol.
What are the risks of nuclear fusion?
The main disadvantage of fusion is that no scientists have been able to contain a fusion reaction long enough for there to be a net energy gain, but nuclear fission is already producing 11% of the worlds energy needs.The atomic bomb.
How do these components of atom differ from each other?
There are three main components in an atom. Protons and electrons have +1 and -1 charges respectively. Neutrons carry no charge.
Why does cadmium absorb neutrons during nuclear fission in a nuclear reactor?
Different elements absorb neutrons to different extents. The measure of this is called the neutron absorption cross section, you can visualise this as the size of a scoop collecting water from a stream, or something similar. Cadmium just happens to have a very large cross section for slow neutrons which are the main cause of the fission chain reaction in a reactor. Boron has similar properties. The precise reason for this involves study of nuclear physics, which you will have to read up in a scientific book on the subject, to get some understanding.
What are the three main advantages of a fusion reactor compared to a fission reactor?
Nuclear fusion reactors do not exist yet as we don't know how to build them. All nuclear reactors are nuclear fission reactors.
What are the main advantage of a fusion reactor compared to a fission reactor?
It doesn't produce radioactive byproducts.

What are the main components of a implantable cardioverter-defibrillator?
Similar in structure to a pacemaker, an ICD has three main components: a generator, leads, and an electrode
What are three main driveline components that are added to a rwd vehicle to make it a 4wd vehicle?
Three main components are a transfer case, front drive shaft, and a front differential.
