B. Ferrite rod

C. Graphite rod

D. Liquid sodium metal.
32. In fast breeder react or any type of moderator can be used graphite is used as the moderator heavy water is used as the moderator may or may not be used moderator is dispensed with.
33. In nuclear fission the original elements change into completely different elements the electrons of the element change the molecules rearrange themselves to form other molecules none of the above. None
34. In nuclear fission each neutron that causes fission releases no new neutron at least one new neutron one new neutron more than one new neutrons many-fold neutrons.
