Which consequence results when neutron emission lags in fission?

A)Delayed reactor power fluctuations arise
B)Fuel breeding ratio instantly doubles
C)Criticality becomes inherently stable
D)Radioactive daughter products immediately vanish

💡 Explanation

Delayed criticality occurs because neutron precursors undergo beta decay, yielding neutrons later; therefore reactor power can fluctuate, rather than remaining stable due to a prompt critical condition, influencing control dynamics.
