In a nuclear power station nuclear fuel undergoes a controlled chain reaction in the reactor to produce heat - nuclear to heat energy. The chain reaction is controlled by Boron control rods. When the Boron absorbs the neutrons then the chain reaction will slow down due to lack of neutrons producing reactions
