write my assignment 1835

During a heat wave, there is an increased demand for electricity to operate air conditioners. The basic design of a nuclear reactor that generates electricity is shown below.

What is the best way for the power plant manager to modify the reactor to meet the demand for electricity?

-lower the control rods, which will absorb more neutrons before they can split atoms

-raise the control rods so that fewer neutrons are absorbed and more can split uranium atoms

-remove some of the fuel rods, which will leave more room for additional neutrons to split atoms

-add additional fuel rods to generate additional neutrons to split uranium atoms
