Created page with "==Key Stage 4== ===Meaning=== A '''fuel rod''' is a cylindrical object containing a fissionable isotope for use in Nuclear Reactor|n..."

New page

==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
A '''fuel rod''' is a [[cylinder|cylindrical]] [[object]] containing a [[Nuclear Fission|fissionable]] [[isotope]] for use in [[Nuclear Reactor|nuclear reactors]].
