They control or regulate the speed of the nuclear reaction by absorbing neutrons. Here's how it works: When the control rods absorb neutrons, fewer neutrons hit the uranium atoms thus slowing down ...

Resource: Nuclear Reaction: Fission ... Nuclear power generation relies on a process called fission, which begins when a fast-moving free neutron "bullet" strikes the nucleus of a uranium or plutonium atom. Because a neutron possesses no charge, it can approach a uranium or plutonium ... Lesson Plans Using this Resource:

A report on why the United States seems ready to abandon nuclear power ... Since 1978, no new nuclear power stations have been commissioned in the United States. Americans, once enthusiastic about nuclear power, now consider it one of the most serious risks to human life and health.

The control rods absorb neutrons and stop the chain reaction. Unfortunately, the core stays hot even after the chain reaction is killed ... If any lesson can be drawn from these first two decades of thinking on nuclear safety, it is the difficulty of trying to ensure safety on the run. Nuclear power was evolving rapidly.

The key to initiating a fusion reaction is for the nuclei that are to fuse to collide at very high velocities, thus driving them close enough together for the strong (but very short-ranged) nuclear forces to overcome the electrical repulsion between them.
