control rod
Control rods (made of neutron-absorbing materials like boron, cadmium, or hafnium) regulate and direct the neutron flux in a reactor, thereby controlling the fission reaction. Turbines and generators convert heat to electricity; a chain reaction is the series of fissions sustained by neutrons.
