← ScienceWhich consequence results when a reactor's poisoning increases?
A)Lower neutron moderation efficiency occurs
B)Increased operational safety coefficient arises
C)A decreased reaction activation barrier
D)Reactor period becomes more negative✓
💡 Explanation
Neutron "poisoning" increases neutron absorption; therefore, the reactor period becomes more negative due to the increased neutron flux decay governed by reactor kinetics rate constants rather than moderation, safety, or kinetic barriers.
