Answer to Question 1

In order to stop the nuclear reactions, neutrons must be absorbed, and control
rods do that.

Answer to Question 2

No real process is 100 efficient. This inefficiency is the source of such
conversion losses.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
