Le modérateur, entrant en jeu dans les réacteurs à neutrons thermiques, ralentit les neutrons produits par fission. Les modérateurs les plus efficaces sont les mauvais absorbeurs neutroniques, soit les corps renfermant des noyaux légers - comme l'hydrogène - car ceux-ci comportent plus d'énergie lors des collisions avec les neutrons. 2, record 1, French, - absorbeur%20de%20neutrons
