Which consequence results when a pressurized water reactor's (PWR) tritium production exceeds its design limit?

💡 Explanation

Elevated tritium increases radiation exposure, because *beta decay* releases energetic electrons directly, therefore increasing radiation risk for personnel rather than directly impacting the reactor core materials or operation’s thermal efficiency.
