text: Therefore, zirconium (mostly as zircaloy) is used as cladding of fuel rods in nuclear reactors, while hafnium is used in control rods for nuclear reactors, because each hafnium atom can absorb multiple neutrons.
text: Given that hafnium absorbs neutrons, it is used in nuclear reactors’ control rods.
text: Because of this property of Hafnium, it is used extensively as a control rod in nuclear applications.
text: Hafnium and its alloys are used for control rods in nuclear reactors and nuclear submarines because hafnium is excellent at absorbing neutrons and it has a very high melting point and is corrosion resistant.
text: Hafnium has good neutron-absorbing properties, and hence it is used in control rods in nuclear reactors.
