← ScienceWhich consequence results when isotope separation fails incompletely?
A)Neutron multiplication reaction cannot be sustained✓
B)Waste heat removal exceeding core tolerance
C)Control rod effectiveness severely increases
D)Increased probability of moderator poisoning effects
💡 Explanation
If isotope separation fails, the concentration of fissile isotopes decreases, because the critical mass needed for a sustained chain reaction cannot be achieved. Therefore, a reactor cannot function, rather than experiencing overheating which primarily depends on power level, or control rod / moderator dynamics.
