Assertion : Breeder reactor produces ._(94)Pu^(239) fissile from non-fissile uranium. Reaosn : A breeder reactor is one that produces more fissionable nuclei than it consumes

Answer»

If both assertion and REASON are true and the reason is the CORRECT explanation of the assertion
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanantion of the assertion
If assertion is true but reason is false
If the assertion and reason both are false

Solution :`._(92)U^(238) + ._(0)n^(1) rarr ._(92)U^(239) overset(-BETA)rarr ._(93)Np^(239) overset(-beta)rarr ._(94)PU^(239)`
In breeder reactors, the neutrons produced from fission of `U - 235` are partly used to carry on the fission of `U - 235` and partly used to produce some other fissionable material.
