  • Options
  • A. it stops due to malfunctioning
  • B. it starts emitting dangerous radioactive radiations
  • C. it is shut down to avoid explosion
  • D. it is ready to produce controlled energy

  • Correct Answer
  • it is ready to produce controlled energy 

    Explanation

    To produce controlled energy i.e energy at a controlled or steady rate, the number of fissions per second must be controlled and maintained at that rate. Excess neutrons should be absorbed by control roads like cadmium.
