Which consequence results when Helium-3 nuclei experience increased binding asymmetry?

A)Reduced neutron capture cross-section

B)Increased alpha decay emission

C)Elevated fusion reaction temperature

D)Greater beta plus disintegration energy✓

💡 Explanation

Increased binding asymmetry favors proton emission via beta plus decay. This occurs because a more uneven distribution of binding energy results in instability, therefore beta plus decay energy increases, rather than other decay modes.
