Problem Statement

Question # 1 (CLO – 2, PLO – 2)

In nuclear power plant systems, cadmium rods are used to absorb the neutrons and hence control the fission reaction in
nuclear reactors. The length of cadmium rods determines how many neutrons will be absorbed i.e., if the cadmium rods
are 0% inside, then no neutrons will be absorbed and if the cadmium rods are 100% dipped inside then the fission reaction
would stop making the reactor shut down. Considering the high radioactivity and tight spacing suggest a good type of
device which could measure the depth of the cadmium rods with its key advantages and limitations in support of your
selection.
