Moderator Materials

Moderator Materials is a class of neutron-moderating substances used in nuclear reactors that, by virtue of their low atomic mass and high scattering cross-section, effectively reduce the kinetic energy of fast neutrons to thermal levels through elastic collisions, thereby sustaining the fission chain reaction.
