Abstract
A moderating fuel rod for a boiling water reactor may include a nuclear fuel section; a neutron moderator section including a metal hydride; and a threaded connector joining the nuclear fuel section and the neutron moderator section. By including one or more moderating fuel rods in a fuel bundle, the neutron moderation within the fuel bundle may be improved, thereby allowing energy to be more efficiently extracted from the entire length of the fuel bundle.
