How a nuclear plant works

The video explains how water is turned into steam to power a turbine connected to a generator, producing electricity. The steam is then condensed back into water and returned to the reactor core, which contains fuel rods and control rods. Uranium dioxide in the fuel rods undergoes fission, releasing heat that turns water into steam. Control rods are used to manage the reactor's temperature and prevent overheating by absorbing atomic particles.

Describe the chain reaction that occurs in the reactor core.

What materials are used in control rods to prevent overheating?
