type: MANNER
Source sentences:
text: Thermal neutrons have moderators that allow many neutrons to slow down to thermal energies (i.e. the speed that atoms are vibrating in the surrounding materials due to their temperature) whereas fast reactors don’t have a moderator and their neutrons stay at high energies (i.e. they move fast).
text: As more moderator molecules are added relative to the amount of fuel molecules, than it becomes easy for neutrons to slow down to thermal energies without encountering a resonance absorption at the resonance energies.
