Using the "Nuclear Reactor" Tab 17. Generate electricity! Adjust the control rods to generate power without letting the temperature get too high. You may need to adjust them as the reaction is taking place. *In order to maintain a steady power output, do you need to put the control rods farther in or slowly take them out as the fission reaction takes place? Explain why this is the case. Homer Simpson is asleep at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant (where he's known to occasionally work, although mostly he's asleep at the controls). When the power plant sounds an alarm (d'oh!), what is happening, and what must Homer do to save the day? http:/www.yoest.org/archives/homer_simpson_nnuclear_power_plant.jpg BO
