This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: 72 Fission Reactors, Break-Up creates Energy, Heat is product of Fissions, Break-Up creates 2 Lower Mass Nuclei (See Figure), Water Moderator provide Control, Fissions lead to Chain Reaction, Increasing Source of Low Energy ("Slow") Neutrons, Uranium 235 Nucleus is transformed into Unstable Uranium 236 Nucleus, Graphite Control Rods provide Control, Break-Up creates Free Neutrons, Induced Reactions in Nuclear Fuel Rods, Chain Reaction requires Control, Nuclear Fission Reactors generate Heat, Induced Reactions take place as a result of Low Energy ("Slow") Neutrons, Steam drives Conventional Turbines Generators, Free Neutrons become Increasing Source, Low Energy ("Slow") Neutrons encounter Uranium 235 Nucleus, Heat used to generate Steam, Conventional Turbines Generators generate Electricity, Control is required because of Increasing Source, Fissions are result of Induced Reactions
