Which consequence results during long-term radioactive source encapsulation failure?

💡 Explanation

Following encapsulation failure, the rate of daughter product accumulation increases; therefore, the relative proportion of the radioactive daughter relative to parent isotopes increases due to beta-minus decay, which results in a decay shift, rather than altered physics.
