Given a scientific passage and an answer, generate a question for the given answer.

Let me give you an example: Passage: A frameshift mutation is a deletion or insertion of one or more nucleotides that changes the reading frame of the base sequence. Deletions remove nucleotides, and insertions add nucleotides. Consider the following sequence of bases in RNA:. Answer: nucleotides.
The answer to this example can be: A frameshift mutation is a deletion or insertion of one or more of what that changes the reading frame of the base sequence?
Here is why: The science passage defines frame mutation and the main compoment here is nucleotides. Hence the generated question is apt.

OK. solve this:
Passage: The control rods play an important role in the modulation of the nuclear chain reaction (usually a collision of a neutron with uranium). Each collision produces more neutrons than were present initially. If left unsupervised, the reaction would soon get out of control. Rods are commonly made of boron or a number of metals and metal alloys. The purpose of the control rods is to absorb neutrons to regulate the rate of the chain reaction so that the water does not overheat and destroy the reactor. Answer: control rods
Answer:
What play an important role in the modulation of the nuclear chain reaction?
