One of the parameters monitored for in reactor water chemistry is boron. Which of the following is a reason for boron addition? to control reactivity to protect pumps to inhibit corrosion to preclude caustic stress corrosion

Respuesta :

Atemrock

Answer:

To control reactivity.

Explanation:

One of the natural isotopes of boron (¹⁰B) with an abundance of 20%, has a high neutron cross section, wich means that it can absorb a high number of protons, thus helping in the leakage of protons to the outiside. Boron is usually added to the reactor water in form of boric acid (H₃BO₃).
