    For fission of uranium \[_{95}^{235}U\], one needs

    A)  very fast neutrons (a few electrons volts)

    B)  low energy neutrons (\[\approx \]0.04 eV at 300K)

    C)  a moderator making neutrons slow

    D)  both  and

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Fission of \[_{92}^{235}U\] is possible by only slow neutrons. To produce slow neutrons, one has to use moderators so, that fission is possible.
