← ScienceWhich consequence results when decay heat overwhelms reactor cooling?
A)Fuel cladding rapidly oxidizes✓
B)Steam turbine blades erode
C)Control rods spontaneously eject
D)Neutron flux instantly diminishes
💡 Explanation
Overwhelmed cooling causes increased temperature; therefore, high temperature initiates rapid oxidation via oxidation kinetics, rather than eroding turbine blades or ejecting control rods, because these are responses to independent reactor parameters.
