Answer»

Answer:

HEY

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER:::::

The key difference between controlled and uncontrolled chain reactions is that controlled chain reactions do not lead to any explosive effects whereas uncontrolled chain reactions lead to explosive energy release.

:::Controlled vs Uncontrolled Chain Reaction::::::

(1)A controlled chain reaction is a chain of nuclear reactions that take PLACE SUBSEQUENTLY under controlled conditions.

An uncontrolled chain reaction is a chain of nuclear reactions that take place subsequently, but not under controlled conditions.

(3) Control Measures::::A nuclear chain reaction is converted into a controlled chain reaction via regulating the amount of fissile isotopes present, reducing the time of reaction and using moderators.

An uncontrolled chain reaction has no control measures.
