Reactions that take place in a breeder reactor change
A)elements into different elements.
B)molecules into different molecules.
C)ions into different ions.
D)all of the above
E)none of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Breeder reactors are designed to create new fuel by converting non-fissile isotopes into fissile isotopes. This occurs through a process called nuclear transmutation, which involves changing the atomic nucleus of an element into a different element. Therefore, the correct answer is A - elements into different elements. Reactions in a breeder reactor do not involve molecules or ions, so choices B and C can be eliminated.
