text: The role is to absorb the production of neutrons therefore slowing down the fission reaction Referring to the reactor diagram: Rod 2 slows the reaction down the greatest Rod 1 is not even in the reactor, hence the greatest amount of fission reaction is occurring that could potentially cause a melt down of the Ur core Rod 3 causes more fission to occur when compared to rod 3, but less than rod 1 Water is also used to cool down the reactor since it generates a lot heat.
