Combustible poisonous substances

...On the other hand, in fast breeder reactors, the absorption cross section of fast neutrons involved in nuclear fission does not vary much depending on the element, but even among these, elements with a large cross section are preferred, such as B 4 C and Ta. Neutron absorbers are used in (1) control rods, (2) liquid absorbents, and (3) burnable poisons. For example, in boiling water reactors, powder of boron carbide B 4 C is sealed in a stainless steel tube, and in pressurized water reactors, Ag-In-Cd alloy is sealed in a stainless steel tube for use as a control rod. ...
