Why do you need to put those neutrons in a fission reactor? Neutrons would still be absorbed and produce heat. Is it because those neutrons damage the reactor

Why do you need to put those neutrons in a fission reactor?
Neutrons would still be absorbed and produce heat.
Is it because those neutrons damage the reactor structure?
- ggm 6y agoyes. aneutreonic, a reaction with "less" neutrons would be cleaner. either you have less/no neutrons, or you absorb the neutrons you have. they make the structure radioactive and/or change it chemically (embrittlement) or, you absorb them into other things to make them radioactive, and useful. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_embrittlement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_embrittlement
