Which consequence results when excessive neutron capture impacts structural alloy's lattice binding?

💡 Explanation

Neutron capture creates transmutation and lattice defects that weaken atomic binding; because of this, the ductile-to-brittle transition increases drastically, therefore embrittling the material, rather than improving its creep or fatigue resistance.
