← ScienceWhich consequence results when deuterium enrichment becomes uncontrolled?
A)Runaway fusion reaction is initiated
B)Excessive neutron moderation occurs✓
C)Fuel rod corrosion accelerates rapidly
D)Radioactive waste volume diminishes greatly
💡 Explanation
Excessive neutron moderation occurs because higher deuterium concentration increases the probability of neutron absorption through the mechanism of neutron capture, therefore increasing the rate reaction rather than initiating fusion, which require much more extreme density.
