==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
A '''control rod''' is a [[cylinder|cylindrical]] [[object]] used in [[Nuclear Fission Reactor|nuclear fission reactors]] to slow or stop the [[Nuclear Reaction|nuclear reaction]].
===About Control Rods===
: '''Control rods''' are usually made of [[Boron]] because it is able to absorb the [[neutron]]s easily.
